Multiple "unsubscribe" requests ignored Despite multiple requests to unsubscribe from "is this publication yours?" emails, they keep coming. This has been going on for six months. It is spamming now, pure and simple. Academia.edu is not respecting the notification choices of their customer base - and they are also breaking UK law by doing this!

horrible The website fails to correctly parse author names from uploaded PDFs. The exported citations are missing many co-author names, which may confuse referencing software and affect citation counts - creating opposite effect of what academia.edu claims to achieve. Answering Academia: The support team suggested that I should get all my co-authors onto academia.edu, and ONLY THEN the citation would show the correct information. This seems like a dubious marketing strategy! I would suggest everyone to AVOID ACADEMIA.

doubled subscription without notice This company doubled my yearly subscription without any notice, taking it from my bank account without warning. I only noticed it a week or so later. This is an unethical, dishonest, business practice, and I can't believe they continue to do this despite all the bad reviews and previous posts from former users who have got burned by them.

Absolute scam Absolute scam. I made an acount to follow interesting academic literature. Instead I received daily mails concerning somebody mentioning my works in their research. Quite impossible, since none of my works is qualitative nor connected to my account. Nevertheless Academia.edu tries to sell you a subscription to view non-existing mentions.

unknown subscription Somehow I was billed for Academia.edu's subscription for years and I paid thousands of dollars for a website I have simply logged into a couple times when I was in college. I advise other people to be weary of any free trials and keep your cancellation confirmation so you don't end up in a situation like mine.
