## چۈشەندۈرۈش

Scholar Sync helps universities, research labs, and academic departments publish
and maintain scholarly work on their WordPress site. Set up a researcher’s profile
in a few clicks — publications and citation metrics are imported automatically and
kept in sync without any manual effort.

**Display modes:**

 * **Single researcher** — a full publication list with citation count, h-index,
   and i10-index for one author (`[scholar-sync-scholar]`)
 * **Group** — display a lab, faculty, or any curated set of researchers, either
   as a combined publication feed or as an author grid/directory (`[scholar-sync-
   group]`)

**Key features:**

 * Profile setup in a 3 clicks — publications imported automatically
 * Background sync keeps publications and citation metrics current
 * Supports co-authors and research groups
 * Manual add/edit for authors and individual articles
 * Live preview with configurable display options (header, search, citations)

**Shortcode examples:**

Display a single researcher’s publications:

    ```
    [scholar-sync-scholar id="42"]
    ```

Hide the header and citation counts:

    ```
    [scholar-sync-scholar id="42" header="0" cited-by="0"]
    ```

Display a group (a lab/faculty feed or a curated author directory):

    ```
    [scholar-sync-group id="12"]
    ```

**External services:**

This plugin communicates with the **scholar-sync.org** service to retrieve scholarly
profile data (articles, citations, h-index) using the OpenAlex academic data source.

 * Service URL: https://scholar-sync.org
 * Terms of Service: https://scholar-sync.org/terms
 * Privacy Policy: https://scholar-sync.org/privacy

Data sent to this service includes: the researcher’s OpenAlex author ID (or name
used to find the profile), your site ID (used to identify your installation), and
the requested page/article range. No personal data of your site visitors is transmitted.

The plugin itself does not restrict or gate any built-in functionality. All sync
frequency and quota limits are enforced entirely by the scholar-sync.org service
and communicated back to the plugin as service responses.

This plugin also uses the **Freemius** licensing SDK to manage plan status and plugin
updates. Freemius may receive your site URL, admin email, and WordPress/PHP environment
details.

## ئورنىتىش

 1. Upload the `scholar-sync` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install
    via the WordPress plugin screen.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
 3. Navigate to **Scholars** in the WordPress admin menu.
 4. Click **Add New** and enter a researcher’s first and last name.
 5. Click «Add» on the relevant profile in the search results.
 6. The complete researcher profile with publication and co-authors will be created
    and previewed.
 7. Click to create a page or copy shortcode to any post, page, or widget.

## FAQ

### Can I add authors manually without using the sync service?

Yes. On the Add New screen, click **Add Manually** to enter an author’s name, affiliations,
thumbnail, and articles by hand. No limitation on the number of authors.

### Can I display only certain authors as a group?

Yes. Create a group then add the authors you want to display: `[scholar-sync-group
id="31"]`

### Is there a limit on the number of researchers I can add?

No. You can create and manage an unlimited number of researcher profiles manually—
there is no cap on the directory size. Manually created profiles are not subject
to any limit.

### Does the plugin store data locally?

Yes. All imported profile and article data is stored in your WordPress database,
so the plugin continues to work even if the external service is temporarily unavailable.

### Does Scholar Sync support WordPress Multisite network activation?

No. Activating Scholar Sync network-wide via the Network Admin will only set up 
the plugin on the main site. Each subsite must activate the plugin individually 
from its own admin dashboard. Network-wide («activate for all sites») activation
will cause the plugin to malfunction on all subsites except the main site.

### Is Scholar Sync free to use?

Yes. All core features — syncing, manual authors and groups, and unlimited profiles—
are free. Paid plans are available for higher sync frequency and request quotas;
free-tier limits are enforced by the scholar-sync.org service and shown to you in
the admin with a link to upgrade if you hit them.

I connected my profile once and haven’t had to touch it since, citations and new
papers just show up on their own.
