Most of your profile is free! For example, your name, affiliations, contact information, social links, research interests, and paper sections are all free. We also show your social data, like following and followers, for free. Your suggested followers are also free!
Reading this article is a great way to see how Academia Premium can enhance your profile significantly.
Here's a list of features on your profile that require an Academia Premium subscription:
Mentions
We'll show everyone who visits your profile the Mentions you've claimed with your Academia Premium subscription. When you click "This is Me" on the Mentions we show you, your total number of Mentions will appear on your profile. You won't lose your Mentions if you return to a free Academia account, but you can't add or remove mentions unless you have an Academia Premium subscription.
Additional paper analytics
Most information about a paper, such as how many views it gets, is free. However, as part of your Academia Premium subscription, you'll see papers related to this paper on your profile, as well as the numbers of times it's mentioned and bookmarked. This information is private to you.
Podcasts
Like Mentions, we'll show the podcasts you've generated to all of your visitors, and you can keep the one's you've generated if you switch back to the free version of Academia.
