Hi Ale,

Unfortunately all the UK federation OpenAthens IdPs have fallen out of 
the ScienceDirect discovery service; presumably that's one of the issues 
you're working on?

Thanks,

We have just sent personalized links to these users that will allow them to transfer their Athens profile to a profile associated with their UK Federation login - we had originally planned to send these messages early in the day but decided to wait until we had resolved the major issue mentioned before. We advise that Athens users who log into SD/Scopus through the UK Federation to NOT use "Activate Personalization" _before_ getting this message and clicking the link in it.
