Terms of Use

Last updated: 13 August 2026

These terms govern your use of ScholarGate. By using the site you agree to them.

The content#

ScholarGate is an educational reference library of research methods. Entries are prepared faithfully to the literature, but they are general information, not professional, legal, medical or statistical advice. Always verify against the cited primary sources before relying on a method.

No warranty#

The service and its content are provided "as is", without warranties of accuracy, completeness or fitness for a particular purpose, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Limitation of liability#

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from use of, or reliance on, the content or service.

Accounts#

You can sign in with Google or with an email address and password. You are responsible for your account and for keeping your credentials secure. Provide accurate information and use the service lawfully.

Acceptable use#

Do not attempt to disrupt the service, scrape it at scale, reverse-engineer it, abuse the AI assistant, or use the service to break the law or infringe others' rights.

Paid plans#

ScholarGate offers three paid plans: Core (12 USD a month), Growth (29 USD a month) and Lab (79 USD a month). Every plan includes the full method library; the plans differ in how many research projects you can keep and in the monthly token allowance for the AI research assistant.

The plans are announced but not on sale yet. While sales are closed nothing is charged; the pricing page only takes a launch-notice email. When sales open, payments will be handled by our payment provider (iyzico), and charges, renewals and refunds will be described at checkout.

Intellectual property#

Method explanations and the site's design belong to ScholarGate. Cited works belong to their authors and publishers; we link to original sources for verification. Do not republish substantial portions without permission.

Changes & termination#

We may update the service or these terms; material changes are reflected by the date above. We may suspend accounts that violate these terms.

Governing law#

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, without prejudice to mandatory consumer-protection rights.
