Perlego's Content Curation Policy
The Criteria Used to Activate and Block Content on the Platform
Perlego's primary objective is to provide a comprehensive and high-quality collection of academic and professional content. To this end, Perlego usually accepts the entire catalogue supplied by a publishing partner and then uses a detailed curation process to determine which titles meet the appropriate standards for activation on our platform.
The curation process is governed by stringent quality criteria that assess a title's academic relevance, professional utility, and production quality, ensuring the collection remains focused and valuable for students and independent learners.
Broad Summary of Content Policy
The decision to activate (publish) or block a title is based on alignment with academic and professional publishing norms.
Perlego's Preferred Content
Perlego prioritises titles that demonstrate established quality and direct relevance to our educational audience:
-
Core Academic Content: Books from credible academic publishers (e.g., University Presses, reputable academic publishers) on core university subjects (e.g., History, Engineering, Science, Philosophy).
-
Professional Relevance: Books aimed at practicing professionals in specific, highly skilled fields, aligning with student career pathways.
-
High-Quality Literary Works: Classics presented in a respectable format (avoiding low-quality, public domain reprints) and contemporary fiction that holds academic or high-cultural relevance (e.g., shortlisted for major literary prizes, or by writers of great acclaim).
If content does not meet these criteria, we generally do not activate it.
