| Mar 1, 2018 at 14:29 | comment | added | curiousdannii | @JackMaris The blurb has indeed been changed, but the number of papers it claims mention me is the same. | |
| Mar 1, 2018 at 0:16 | comment | added | Jack Maris | @curiousdannii, that's related to a bug we fixed last week in how we report to you the name variants we search for. I believe that we wouldn't search for "D Willis" or "Willis, D" for you. You can check the page where you saw that issue, and it should be resolved (DM me if you don't have the link). | |
| Feb 23, 2018 at 7:30 | comment | added | rpeg | I know I'm suspicious because no one should be citing me. I have a unique name so this type of mistake is strange but suspect. | |
| Feb 19, 2018 at 20:25 | comment | added | user87811 | Didn't Classmates.com offer a similar service over email promotions years ago? They suggested that friends had been asking about you and when you signed up (essentially providing them with the only content they have available to sell) it turned out to be false. They faced a massive class action suit and I wouldn't be surprised if Academia will also. | |

| Oct 24, 2017 at 18:35 | comment | added | Rolf | I had a blog (just a few posts, really) a long time ago. Abandoned and offline now. I can only think of Quora posts. Yet academia claims that my name was mentioned in "6 papers". I find that suspicious. | |

| Jun 20, 2017 at 13:00 | comment | added | curiousdannii | @darijgrinberg Hmm, you're right, there was one result which quoted an old blog post I wrote. | |
| Jun 20, 2017 at 12:19 | comment | added | darij grinberg | I suspect that whatever mentions academia.edu can find you can also find by googling for your name in doublequotes. | |
| Jun 20, 2017 at 10:39 | comment | added | lighthouse keeper | Despite the fact that you haven't published anything, is there still any chance that people might have noticed your work (for example, because you contribute to open-source software)? | |

| Jun 20, 2017 at 4:02 | comment | added | Jeromy Anglim | What do you mean by "scam"? There has been various criticism of academia.edu's "premium" features, and how it illustrates the problems of social networks that first attempt to gain traction, and then exploit their users: forbes.com/sites/drsarahbond/2017/01/23/… | |
