What are the benefits of the new platform?

Intellect Discover works as the heart of Intellect’s digital content, with content discovery being at the core of its set-up. Customers can purchase individual ebooks and collections, as well as journal chapters, issues and subscriptions. There are even ways to utilize tokens (Carnets) and receive discounts when purchasing bundles.

Where and when can I access the new platform?

Our content will be available to users from 8 November 2022 at www.intellectdiscover.com.

What do I need to do right now?

If your institution subscribes to our journals, we suggest you complete the actions detailed in the pre-launch section of the Journal Migration checklist.

Who can I contact if I have a question about the impact on my library?

All queries should be directed to Intellect’s Digital Products Manager Mareike at contact@intellectdiscover.com.

Preparing for the journal migration

How can I log in?

The IngentaConnect credentials will be transferred, so if you have accessed Intellect's content via IngentaConnect before, please use the same username and password to log in to Intellect Discover. Should you not be able to log in, please email contact@intellectdiscover.com.

Will the content redirect to Intellect Discover?

Yes, there will be article-level redirects from Ingenta Connect to Intellect Discover in perpetuity, as the new platform is also provided by Ingenta - a clear advantage for our journal content!

After launch, we will resubmit all DOIs so that a redirect will not be necessary and the DOIs resolve directly to Intellect Discover. You don’t need to do anything.

Do I need to update my IP manually on the new platform?

Your IP addresses will be transferred from Ingenta Connect. Once the platform has launched, you should check your IP range in the Access Management System and send any changes to contact@intellectdiscover.com.

Will there be any impact on usage reports?

We will be finalizing the statistics for October on Ingenta Connect. This will be completed later in November (not in time for the 8 November launch). We will then copy the statistics over to the Intellect Discover, and the November reports will be available in December on the Edify site. Despite a hopefully smooth transition, we advise you to keep up-to-date with the download of all legacy usage reports to make sure you have a full record.

Will there be any changes to DOIs? Will the DOI registry be updated to reflect new URLs?

The DOI registry will be updated to reflect the new URLs on Intellect Discover, so the DOIs for journal articles will not change.

Will my institution have access to both platforms simultaneously?

Redirects from Ingenta Connect to Intellect Discover will be in place. You will also be able to access legacy usage reports. Please note that any content published after 3 November 2022 will only be available on Intellect Discover.

What do I do if my library loses access during the transition?

Please email contact@intellectdiscover.com. Our Digital Products Manager Mareike will resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
