__TOC__
== Summary ==
Scribd operates a self-publishing platform for documents and audiobooks. It is considered generally unreliable, especially for [[WP:BLPSPS|biographies of living persons]]. Anyone can upload any document they like and there is no assurance that it hasn't been manipulated. Many documents on Scribd's self-publishing platform violate copyrights, so linking to them from Wikipedia would also violate the [[WP:COPYVIOEL]] guideline and the [[WP:COPYVIO]] policy. If a particular document hosted on the platform is in itself reliable, editors are advised to cite the source without linking to the Scribd entry.
