Getting Started with Workspace: Home

A guide to using Workspace by LSEG, formerly known as Refinitiv

Refinitiv is now LSEG

The parent company of Refinitiv is simplifying their branding and as part of this, Refinitiv will change to LSEG. Over the coming months, the new brand will roll out across their different product interfaces. Aside from the branding changes, everything else will remain the same. 

About Workspace

 

Workspace features market data, company financials and filings, earnings estimates, transaction data, analyst research, and more.

This platform replaced Thomson ONE and provides access to similar content. It was also previously known as Refintiv Workspace or RWS. 

 

 

License Terms
Workspace for Students is available to authorized users at Yale University for non-commercial academic research.
•    Refinitiv Workspace may be used for academic purposes exclusively. Any use for commercial purposes, including internships or other employment opportunities (even if during a term of academic study), is prohibited.
•    Authorized users may download and store information from the database for academic purposes. Upon completing projects or coursework, users should make every effort to delete this information.
 

Step 1: Register for an Account

Students, faculty and staff can request a Workspace account using an @yale.edu email address at https://my.refinitiv.com/productregistration.html.  


When registering for an account, complete all fields on the form.

Account requests are reviewed once daily. Requests submitted over the weekend will be reviewed on Monday. 

After requests are approved, new users will receive a welcome email directly from Refinitiv (customerzone@refinitiv.com) containing access instructions. If you cannot find your email, you can try using the Forgotten your Password link on the sign-in form or contact the Business and Management Librarians.
