Sourcer is available on all major browsers on laptops and desktops, including Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and all Chromium browsers. Sourcer is also available on iPad devices from iPadOS 15.0, as a Safari extension and can be downloaded from the iPad App Store.

Unfortunately, Sourcer is currently not available for phones.

This is a general warning automatically added by Safari for most extensions. In order to access the news article you are reading, we need to be able to read that website. However, the only information we are accessing is the text of the news article. Furthermore, we only read a page once we have confirmed that it is an article. Thus, we will never be able to read any of your personal or sensitive information. If you want to learn more, you can read the Privacy-related question below, or read our transparency page by clicking here.

Using Sourcer is very easy. You just have to open a news article and click on our logo in the bottom right corner. You can read more about the usage on our How to Sourcer? page.

Sourcer obtains results by constantly looking for new articles on around 120 websites with the highest traffic and saving them to our databases. To find out more about how we get related articles, summaries, or the credibility score, please check out our transparency page by clicking here.

No, we do not track any personal information nor any data linked to you. All usage data is anonymised and they are only used to improve our services. Even though we request your email address when activating your account, we anonymise this and do not connect it to you. You can find out more by reading our transparency page by clicking here.

We need your email address to be able to verify that you have access to the Premium or the Academia subscription of Sourcer. After confirming this, we hide your address in our systems, so we can never connect your usage data to you.

You can verify two devices at the same time with one account. This means you can use Sourcer on two different browsers or your laptop and iPad simultaneously. If you verify a third device/browser, we will remove the verification from the first device you verified.

To verify your account, you have to enter your email address (if you use Sourcer through your institution, please enter that address) on our website and click on the verification link that you have received in your inbox. You can find out how to do that in the following short, 1-minute video:

You can use your account as long as you or your institution has a subscription to Sourcer. If you have an Academia account, your devices will be unverified at the end of every academic year, so you will have to verify them again. Other than that, you can lose device verification if you remove it manually or if a newly verified account is over the limit, it will be removing the first verified account.

No, that is not possible. To verify your account, you need to have access to your email inbox to click the verification link from there.
