How institutional access works

No IT project.
No user lists. No seat allocations.

Once your institution is registered, access is automatic. Any person who registers or logs in with your institutional email address immediately receives Education tier access — without any action from IT, the library, or the admin team.

Students who graduate retain their access until their institutional email expires. Faculty who join are activated on first login. No provisioning. No deprovisioning. No tickets.

🔑
Automatic access by email domain
Register your domain once. Any @youruniversity.ac.uk address is activated automatically. Works for students, staff, visiting researchers — anyone on your domain.
🧑‍💼
Designated administrator only
One designated contact person for billing, renewals, and support. No per-department setup. No IT integration required.
🔒
Zero data sovereignty risk
Documents never leave the researcher's device. No institutional data is stored on Lacuna Labs servers. Fully compliant with GDPR, UK GDPR, and most institutional data policies.
📐
Peer-reviewed methodology
The underlying method is published in Springer Nature Systematic Reviews (2026), IEEE Transactions on Services Computing (2023), and ECKM (2021). Output is citable.
