Copyright & DMCA Policy

Effective date: October 1, 2026

SynthGap respects copyright and expects its users to do the same. This policy explains how copyright owners can report content they believe infringes their rights, and what happens next. It forms part of our Terms of Service.

In short: If you believe something in SynthGap infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent (details below). We act promptly on complete notices, tell the user concerned, and give them a chance to respond.

1. What content is on SynthGap

SynthGap is a private workspace for systematic reviews, not a public library. Content comes from three places:

• Users' own material. Text users enter and files they upload (for example, a PDF of an article they can access). Uploads are stored privately in the user's run. If a user shares a run, the extracted text of full-text documents attached to it can be viewed by other signed-in users.
• Open-access articles. Where available, the Service retrieves full text through PubMed Central's Open Access service. Those articles are made available under their own licenses (for example, Creative Commons), which continue to apply.
• Public bibliographic data. Titles, abstracts and metadata from PubMed.

2. Reporting infringement

Send a written notice to our designated agent containing:

1. your physical or electronic signature (or that of a person authorized to act for the copyright owner);
2. identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed (or a representative list if one notice covers several works);
3. identification of the material you claim is infringing and enough information for us to find it, for example the run ID or the article's PMID and a description of where it appears;
4. your name, postal address, telephone number and email address;
5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and
6. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Designated agent

• Name: Huseyin Ademogullari
• Address: 2681 Nicosia, Cyprus
• Telephone: +90 505 681 8554
• Email: ademogullarihuseyin@gmail.com

Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing can make you liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)).

3. What we do with a notice

When we receive a complete notice we will promptly remove or disable access to the material, notify the user who provided it (where we can), and give them a copy of the notice. We may ask you for more information if your notice is incomplete. We keep a record of notices received.

4. Counter-notice

If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send our designated agent a counter-notice containing:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal;
3. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed because of a mistake or misidentification;
4. your name, postal address and telephone number; and
5. a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district where you are located (or, if you are outside the United States, any judicial district in which we may be found) and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice.

If we receive a valid counter-notice we will send a copy to the person who submitted the original notice. Unless that person tells us, before the material is restored, that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the user, we will restore the material between 10 and 14 business days after receiving the counter-notice.

5. Repeat infringers

In appropriate circumstances we will terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

6. Users' responsibility

Before you upload a document or share a run, make sure you have the right to do so. Don't share runs that include text from documents you aren't entitled to share. See Section 7 of our Terms.

7. Other jurisdictions

If you are outside the United States, you can send a notice with the same information to the same agent, and we will assess it under the law that applies.
