Copyright & Takedown Policy

1. How ScholarDeck uses published research

ScholarDeck surfaces bibliographic data (titles, authors, journals, abstracts, citation counts) from public sources such as PubMed, OpenAlex, ORCID, and Crossref, and links out to the original paper. Abstracts and papers remain the property of their publishers and authors. We host card summaries and links, not full-text articles or PDFs.

Journal quality figures — the quartile shown on a card (Q1–Q4) and the citations-per-paper number beside it — come from the SCImago Journal & Country Rank, which is derived from Scopus data and published under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial licence. We reproduce those figures as published and calculate no ranking of our own. A quartile is always a rank within a subject category, so a card names the field it applies to. Impact Factor is a separate metric published by Clarivate in Journal Citation Reports and is not used here.
