Terms of use

These terms govern use of posi.panorama-sg.com (“POSI”), published by Panorama Scholarly Group Ltd., Hong Kong SAR (“we”). By using POSI you agree to them.

1. The service

POSI is a citation index and journal directory. Its content combines metadata from Crossref and OpenAlex with POSI’s own classification, evaluation and rankings, produced under the published methodology and editorial policy.

2. Data and software licences

POSI data is licensed under CC BY 4.0: you may reuse and redistribute it with attribution to POSI. Third-party metadata keeps its original licence. The POSI software is licensed under the MIT License. The POSI name and logo are not licensed for use that suggests endorsement.

3. Use of rankings and certificates

The responsible use guidance forms part of these terms. A certificate of indexing states that a publication appeared in a journal indexed by POSI on the date of issue; it may be checked by anyone at certificate verification. Altering a certificate, or presenting indexing as Core Collection certification when it is not, is not permitted.

4. No warranty

POSI is provided “as is”. We work to keep records accurate and correct errors promptly, but we do not warrant that any record, score or ranking is complete, current or free of error. Registry data is shown as the registry provides it.

5. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Panorama Scholarly Group Ltd. is not liable for any loss arising from reliance on POSI data, rankings or certificates.

POSI links to journal websites, DOI resolvers and other services. We are not responsible for their content or availability.
