Academia.edu sends notifications to keep you updated on what the authors you follow are doing, how people are interacting with your profile and papers you've uploaded, and other activity happening on the site. You can control which of these notifications are delivered via email through your account settings.
We recommend adjusting your email notification settings if you want to:
- See less emails about a specific topic
- Receive only emails that matter to you
- Unsubscribe from all Academia emails
How to open Email Notification settings
Go to your email notifications settings to adjust your email preferences, or open your Account Settings:
- Click on your name and profile photo.
- Click Account Settings in the dropdown menu.
- Click the Email Notifications tab on the left.
How to change email notification preferences
Check or uncheck the boxes next to the email notifications you'd like to change. Checking a box will subscribe you to those email notifications. Adversely, unchecking a box will stop those emails from being sent to you.
Click "Save Changes" in the sections where you've made changes to finalize them.
If you don't want to get any emails from Academia, click the red "Unsubscribe from all Academia.edu Emails" button at the bottom.

Why am I receiving emails from Academia?
If you're receiving emails from us, you previously created an account. Perhaps you downloaded a paper from us or received an invitation from another Academia user. You must have an account in order for us to send you interesting papers or possible citations of your name.
