# Your account

Your Redivis account establishes your identity on Redivis, and provides a home for various forms of data-driven investigation and collaboration.

Because researchers regularly move between institutions, and often want to be able to reference and access historic work, it is **strongly encouraged** that you:

* Only have a single Redivis account, much as you would only have a single Google Scholar account. 
* [Tie multiple emails](https://docs.redivis.com/reference/your-account/managing-logins) (e.g., university credentials, personal google account) to your Redivis account, to ensure that you can always access it.
