Use of SciVal requires a personal account with Elsevier, the company that licenses SciVal. Although you'll see an option to bypass this when signing in, selecting that option will not work.

To login in to SciVal, please follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to SciVal from this FAQ, the Databases list, or the library catalog.
  2.  Select Sign In at the top of the page.
  3. Leave the Email field blank and select Sign in via your organization.
  4. On the "Find your organization" screen, search for OHSU.
  5. Select OHSU Library (Oregon Health & Science University) and Submit and continue.
  6. Sign in using your OHSU network credentials.
  7. First time users: On the "Personalize your experience" screen, enter your email.
    • Note: You must enter an email on this screen. If you skip this screen, you will not be able to access SciVal.
  8. On the Register screen, you can enter your name and register, or select "I already have an account."
