Dimensions data and the GDPR

Much of the data we use and display within Dimensions (app.dimensions.ai) contains personal data such as names of journal article authors and details of their research history, which is already publicly available and forms part of the scientific record. By increasing its discoverability and helping identify linkages, amongst other things, we believe this adds value to the scientific community and we rely on our “legitimate business interests” to process this information, further details of which is set out in our privacy policy.

User accounts and the GDPR

If you register to use Dimensions, we require certain limited information about you to set up an account. Registered users can have their account deleted if desired by Delete Account within the account settings, which will result in the deletion of your registration details and other information that may be linked to your account.
