Disclaimers & Cautions
Last Updated: June 11, 2026
AI-Generated Content
ScholarLM uses generative AI, which can produce plausible-sounding but incorrect or fabricated information ("hallucinations"). Treat every AI summary, brief, answer, or draft as a starting point to verify — not a verified fact.
Verify Citations & Sources
Always confirm quotes, figures, claims, and references against the primary paper. AI may misattribute, paraphrase inaccurately, or invent citations. Citation markers indicate where the model drew context, not a guarantee of correctness.
Not Professional Advice
Content is for informational and research purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical, legal, financial, clinical, or other expert advice. Do not make decisions in those domains based solely on ScholarLM output.
Research & Academic Integrity
Do not submit AI-generated text as your own where that is prohibited. Check and follow your institution's and target publishers' policies on the use and disclosure of AI assistance, and ensure all references are independently verified.
Beta Software
ScholarLM is in active beta and is provided "as is". Features, data availability, accuracy, and performance may change without notice, and uptime is not guaranteed. Please back up important findings externally.
Third-Party Data
Results depend on external academic APIs (e.g., OpenAlex, arXiv, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, Crossref). Coverage varies by source and may be incomplete, delayed, or temporarily unavailable; absence of a result does not imply absence of literature.
Your Responsibility
You are responsible for how you use ScholarLM's output and for complying with applicable laws and the licences and terms of any cited sources.
