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.

ACademia is in violation I keep getting emails that I am getting mentioned or used in academia papers, only trying yo charge me a huge amount for a premium upgrade. The pount is that anything i write or photograph is either compleetly copyrighted by me (So academia is in violation) or publisg unde creative comments share alike in witch case academia still is in violation. Third posibility is then just spamming me with email. Witch , in the way they do, is also in violation.

Thieving spivs These spivs withdrew €214,80 from my credit card account without my permission nor knowledge. I have never signed up to any of their services and only accessed their site to read scientific papers that they make available free. Some were interesting but over the years I've downloaded less than a dozen - all allegedly free. I am puzzled how they gained access to my credit card account. I am considering legal action.

This is extreemly redicules site and… This is extreemly redicules site and web serviece. I highly recommend that you don't sign up even, aside from paying for a memebership. it looks not only fraudlent but spamy too. I unsubsribed from their silly spamming message services 3 times but I still get stupid messages about my name is menitoned somewhere. The article I signed for them to access wasn't accessable anyway too!!! Don't even register with them it is too fishy and spamy

first the very bad news .. first the very bad news ... a simply click gives academia.eu access to all of your google contacts!! BEWARE giving your contacts away as it can be used maliciously. second... endless 'recommendations' that in effect become spam by sheer numbers. Occasionally i do come across an interesting paper, but i have to wade through so much else to find it. NOTE THE REPLY. NO DENIAL THAT TAKING YOUR CONTACTS HAPPENS! just a curious 'sorry you had this experience'. well of course i had this experience, thats IS the academis.eu experience they have set up!
