OpenAthens Ideas Portal

We're always looking for ways to improve our products, and we'd love your input to help us make that happen. Your suggestions will guide us in deciding where we should focus our future research and development.

Just sign in with your email to share your thoughts or vote for ideas you like—it'll help them get noticed!


Here’s how the portal is organised:

  • Librarians (Identity Providers): Share ideas that help organisations that manage user identities and provide access to online content and services. This includes improving the experience for students and researchers.

  • Publishers (Service Providers): Share ideas for organisations that offer content and services.

Change the messaging on the log in screen around the link to reset openathens password from problems logging in to Reset your password/ Register

Problems logging in seems to be not specific enough for our users. We are getting tickets opened on our help desk looking to reset openathens passwords, when the user should be able to do this themselves. Additionally, this text does not convey the option to register for an account, which is needed at this point.
