i don't use it a lot but ended up with stuff there first because someone else cited me as a co-author. so i uploaded a couple of things. but all that seems to happen now is i periodically get emails telling me that x number of people have been searching on my name or reading my articles, but when i click on the link for further information, i get to a page telling me to upgrade (& pay €7.4 per month).

i suppose it is useful if you have an academic career & it's important that your publications are circulated. but for myself, it isn't useful enough to warrant paying for.

Started putting texts up on academia.edu - does anyone use the site?
