Is Scholarscope safe?
Scholarscope sends PubMed search and article details plus saved notes, tags, and highlights to Scholarscope servers.
When you use Scholarscope on PubMed or supported edu.cn pages, it sends article details such as journal names, PMIDs, publication years, article types, and search terms to its scoring API. If you save notes, tags, favorites, or highlights in the sidebar, those user-created entries and article identifiers are synced to Scholarscope account and highlight endpoints.
