How do I set-up my institution to use OpenURL/SFX?

How do I set-up my institution to use OpenURL/SFX? 

Institutions can enable OpenURL linking on the IOPscience platform to ensure seamless access via their preferred link resolver. To activate this feature, our customer service team will need a small amount of configuration information from you. 

Information Required 

Please send the following details for your institution’s OpenURL setup: 

• Base URL — The main resolver URL used by your institution. 

• Image URL — The URL for the resolver button or icon you would like displayed on IOPscience. 

Once these details are received, our team will complete the configuration and confirm when OpenURL access is active. 

What Happens After You Submit the Details 

• Your institution’s IOPscience account will be updated with the OpenURL configuration. 

• No further action is required unless clarification is needed. 

• You will receive confirmation once the setup is complete. 

Contacting Customer Service 

Please send the required URLs to our Customer Service team, who will carry out the necessary administration. If you have any questions about locating your OpenURL details or how the configuration works on IOPscience, they will be happy to assist. 

If you’d like, I can also create a shorter version for quick‑reference guides or an internal‑only version for staff use.
