Any Swarthmore faculty member or student can request access by submitting a help ticket at support.swarthmore.edu or support@swathmore.edu.

The number of faculty and student licenses is limited to a set amount per year.

Features and Usage

Faculty have access to the Premium account features, including the rights to publish to a journal.  Student accounts have all the features except the rights to publish to a journal.  In most cases, it is best for a professor to create an account that owns the figures and collaborate with student researchers.
