These Terms govern your use of the Metricum app ("the app", "we", "us"). By downloading or using Metricum, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
Metricum displays publicly available Google Scholar and PubMed metrics for a researcher profile you configure, along with trends, alerts, and AI-generated summaries. Metricum is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google Scholar, PubMed, or the National Center for Biotechnology Information.
Sign-in is passwordless: you provide an email address and verify it with a one-time code. You are responsible for maintaining access to your email account. You may delete your account and all associated data at any time from Settings → Delete Account.
Some features (frequent data refresh, AI insights, trending-paper alerts, and push notifications) require a paid Metricum Pro subscription, offered as an auto-renewable subscription:
Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription, and turn off auto-renew, in your Apple ID account settings after purchase. Prices are shown in the app and may vary by region.
Metrics are sourced from third parties and may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate, and free accounts are updated less frequently. Metricum is provided for informational purposes and should not be relied upon as an authoritative record of academic impact.
You agree not to misuse the app, attempt to access it in unauthorized ways, or configure it to impersonate another person's identity in bad faith.
The app, its design, and its original content are owned by us. The underlying scholarly data belongs to its respective sources and rights holders.
The app is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the app.
We may suspend or terminate access if these Terms are violated. You may stop using the app and delete your account at any time.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the app after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the developer is established, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
