Institutional access

How to access ASE Journals

All of the journal content can be accessed through The Association for Science Education (ASE). Abstracts and tables of content are freely available to all, while access to the PDF content will depend on your subscription status. Subscribing institutions automatically qualify for online access to the journals to which they subscribe, as long as we have received a completed order. View our subscription pricing.

How do I register for online access?

If your library already subscribes to one or more of ASE's journals.Your librarian can also contact our Library Administrator at info@ase.org.uk. We'll be happy to send out sample journals. Subscription pricing is available. Institutions automatically qualify for online access to the journals to which they subscribe.

How many years of content can I access?

Institutional journal subscribers are able to access to the current volume, plus a 10-year archive. Customers who wish to access all of our archive content, can submit a request to info@ase.org.uk and we can supply a PDF copy.

Do I need a network license?

In accessing our resources, subscribers agree to our network license

Institutional Access

We have two methods of institutional access for our library subscribers.

1. Shibboleth

The Association for Science Education (ASE) supports the Shibboleth authentication system. As part of the UK federation we are able to support other members of the UK Federation and provide a single sign-on. This means that users from Shibboleth compliant institutions can sign in to www.ase.org.uk using their institutional ID and password and gain access, on or off campus, to their subscribed content. More information about Shibboleth can be found at shibboleth.internet2.edu.  

Please note Shibboleth access is currently not available to international based institutions.

How to login via Shibboleth

Please visit www.ase.org.uk/user and select the SHIBBOLETH button. Your users will be asked to select their Institution. You will then be redirected to your institution’s specific authentication service login page and asked to login. Once you have completed your access requirements here, Shibboleth will authenticate your access information and allow you to enter your subscribed ASE content.

PLEASE READ : Notice of Incorrect Attribute for Shibboleth Users "eduPersonTargetedID"


 

2. IP Address Access

To ensure that a broad range on institutions have access, we have also implemented IP address access. Once you have subscriber please supply your IP range with your order to libraries@ase.org.uk 

Once you have subscribed - please send your users to https://libraries.ase.org.uk/ to ensure they are logged in via your IP address.
