How can I use the Elsevier Account for single sign-on to Editorial Manager (EM)?

Journals can now allow users the option to sign in to EM using their Elsevier Account username and password instead of an EM username and password.

When enabled, this feature displays as an Elsevier Account icon on the journal’s login page.

Single Sign-On via the Elsevier Account offers a streamlined access experience. If you remain signed in to your Elsevier Account, you can access multiple EM sites and Elsevier services—such as ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Mendeley—during that session without needing to re-enter your login credentials.

If you are a new user to the EM site and have not yet registered with the journal before, you need to create an account on the specific EM site before using the Elsevier Account login method. Make sure to register an EM account, with the same email address as used by your Elsevier Account.

You can sign in to the EM site using the Elsevier Account login method, provided that the email address registered with your Elsevier Account matches the email associated with your EM account.

How to Log into Editorial Manager Using Your Elsevier Account?

Click the Elsevier icon, under the EM login buttons to launch the Elsevier Account site in a new window.

• If you are logged in to your Elsevier Account already, the Elsevier Account screen closes after a few seconds, and you are logged into EM and taken to your default Main Menu.

• If you are not already logged into your Elsevier Account, you are prompted to enter your credentials. Once entered, you are logged directly into EM and taken to the default Main Menu.

If your EM account contains multiple email addresses that have not been previously verified or deleted, a screen appears prompting you to verify or delete the email addresses associated with your account:

• To log directly into EM, you can select the “I’ll do this later” button. However, you will be prompted to this screen upon each login until all listed email addresses have been verified or deleted.
• For any email addresses that are no longer needed, you can delete them from your EM account by selecting “Delete from account.”

• If you wish to keep secondary email addresses associated with your account, you will need to verify each one.
• When you choose to verify a secondary email address, a screen appears confirming that a security code is sent to that email address from [email protected].
• Upon receiving the security code, you have 15 minutes to enter the one-time verification code. Once you have entered the verification code, you will be logged in directly to EM.

• If there are any other additional email addresses associated with your account, you return automatically to the previous page where you can verify or delete those additional email addresses.

  The “I’ll do this later” button is also available, allowing you to log directly into EM.

By following this procedure, you will be able to securely verify your email addresses and gain direct access to EM efficiently. Ensuring timely entry of the verification code and managing your associated email addresses helps maintain the security of your account and streamlines your login process.
