Terms of Service

Last updated August 20, 2026

These terms govern your use of Publitera. By using the app or website, you agree to them.

Not medical advice. Publitera is an awareness and reading tool that helps you stay current with newly published literature. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or clinical decision-making, and it is not a substitute for the judgment of a qualified healthcare professional.

Your account

Keep your login credentials secure and provide accurate information. You are responsible for activity under your account.

Subscriptions and billing

Publitera offers a free tier and paid plans (Pro and Scholar).
On Apple devices, paid plans may be purchased through Apple In-App Purchase. Such subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and are managed in your Apple ID settings (Settings → your name → Subscriptions).
On the web, paid plans are processed by Stripe and managed from your account.
Refunds are handled according to the policy of the store through which you purchased.

Acceptable use

Don't misuse the service, attempt to disrupt it, or use it unlawfully or to infringe others' rights.

Intellectual property

Publitera and its design are owned by us. Research metadata and article content belong to their respective publishers and authors; Publitera links to and summarizes publicly available information.

Content sources & attribution

Journal article data (titles, authors, abstracts, and bibliographic details) are drawn from PubMed®, courtesy of the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM). NLM and the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) do not endorse or recommend Publitera, and the data are provided without warranty of any kind. Abstracts displayed in Publitera may be protected by copyright held by their publishers or authors; they are reproduced here as indexed by PubMed, with attribution and links to the original source.

Publitera refreshes its article data regularly, but records shown may not always reflect the most current version available from NLM — corrections, retractions, and updates issued by publishers can take time to appear. When in doubt, follow the article's source link for the authoritative record.

Conference meeting abstracts are presented with attribution to the society that published them and a link to the original program page; their copyright remains with the respective societies, publishers, or authors.

If you are a rights holder and believe content is displayed here in error or against your policies, email support@publitera.com — we review such requests promptly and remove content on request.

Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Publitera is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service.

Termination

You may stop using Publitera and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end access if these terms are violated.

Changes

We may update these terms; continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms.
