Academia.edu

[Peter Kornicki]

I have removed my Japanese history bibliographies and my whole content from Academia.edu as a result of the updated service terms for use of Academia.edu which read as follows on the Academia.edu website:

By making any Member Content available through the Site or Services, you hereby grant to Academia.edu a worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free, non-exclusive, transferable license to exercise any and all rights under copyright, in any medium, and to authorize others to do the same, in connection with operating and providing the Services and Content to you and to other Members, including the generation and hosting of Output and the use of AI to generate adaptations and other derivative works of Member Content, provided that the Member Content is not sold to a third party for a profit. Academia.edu does not claim any ownership rights in any Member Content and nothing in these Terms will be deemed to restrict any rights that you may have to use and exploit any Member Content. You agree that Academia.edu may analyze, transform, and create derivative works from Member Content in connection with providing and improving its Services.

I am currently updating the bibliographies but am unsure where to upload them to make them publicly available. I will provide information about the update and where it can be found on this list in due course.

Dear Kornicki-sensei.
Thank you for this information. The Academia statement, is pure theft.
But are they doing anything other than what anybody else can do with
materials we have uploaded? By uploading to Academia.edu we have
already committed materials to open access.
Since the rights are not claimed to be restrictive, their main
advantage is just one of bulk.

But where do we go from here?
best wishes,
Michael Pye

This advice to our faculty came from my colleague:

To delete your Academia account: when you login next, DO NOT CLICK ON AGREE. Click on "Terms of Service", then to to the top right to your account, then click on account settings, then delete your account. There's a box to give them a reason.

If you do click on agree before you delete your account, you might inadvertently be giving them permanent access to everything posted there up until you delete, even after you delete.

I recall that Ross Bender, Paula Curtis, and others warned us about the AI thing back in July. I had disabled the feature then, which might explain why I didn't receive the new Terms of Service notification.

I've since removed all my papers from my profile and moved to ResearchGate, which I've found to be a great alternative. Its terms of service are much better, as it doesn't claim ownership over your work (though this could, of course, change, given "shittification").

I'm wondering if you all are considering a similar migration? I'm also considering keeping my profile on Academia.edu without any papers on it, given there are still so many scholars from the Global South that use the platform to access my work and message me with questions. What do you think our options are for staying connected while protecting our work?

Dear all,

Just to reiterate from my previous post on this, one recommendation for an alternative to Academia.edu is H-Commons (Humanities Commons, now rebranded as Knowledge Commons), which is a free, open-access site managed by the MLA and which hosts space for users to upload their papers, syllabi, etc. into a searchable database. https://hcommons.org/ They have various features for personal webpages, communities, uploads, etc.

Best,

Paula
