Globus step-by-step guide

1. Create (new) identity for login

Here you can choose your preferred method of authentication by selecting your institution in the drop-down menu (if present) or clicking on the Google or ORCID buttons. Finally, if none of these works for you, you can follow the link to the GlobusID webpage, which allows you to create an identifier within Globus itself and log in using it.

Once logged in, you will be asked to fill in additional personal data, as your name, institution and accept terms of use. Once you complete this step, the following page will be displayed.
