Unauthorized charge of $191. I reaceoved an unauthorized charge of $191.00 for a premium service that I will never use and I have never requested. This is truly unacceptable. I am not an academica and have never written an academic research paper. After I disputed this charge, Academia.edu has failed to reimburse this charge. I wish to have these funds reimbursed immediately.

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!

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.

Avoid Academia! Avoid Academia!! They cheat customers. They will increase your suscription without previous notice and without your acceptance. Answering Academia: Even if you send an email you cannot change suscription without customer approval. I already contacted your “support” team and they said they cannot do anything, just suggested to cancel my membership, which i did. Too late now. Academia is a scam! You only hace to see your 1.5stars in Truepilot. Hopefully you’ll disappear soon

They kept spamming me for years… They kept spamming me for years (luckily just my garbage account), until I finally lost it and sent them an email telling them to delete my account and all my information. No answer – but they did double down on their spam messages. At least one email in January EVERY DAY. No thanks. 1 star well deserved.
