Template Details

Academia is a Hugo theme maintained by gethugothemes, positioned as an academic resume and portfolio site. The README states it is suitable for building pages such as academic portfolios, resumes, and publication listings, and the theme includes six key pages, homepage sections, and forms.

The theme provides preset pages including a homepage, single post page, single publication page, course list page, single course page, and category page, and supports multiple authors, a contact form, Google Analytics, Google Maps, Open Graph and Twitter Card meta tags, and article reading time calculation. The code is based on Bootstrap and uses front-end resources such as jQuery, Reveal, Isotope, Fancybox, Highlight.js, Font Awesome, and Google Fonts.

The theme's code is released under the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution, but third-party assets such as demo images must be checked separately under their respective licenses. The README also mentions that the template is preconfigured with Sitepins, a Git-based headless CMS, allowing visual editing of text, images, and configuration.

License & source material

Usage conditions & limitations

Free to use · keep license notice

This entry covers the free version under the MIT license in the public repository; the free scope applies to that version's code and does not mean external services or third-party assets are free.

Must comply with when using

  • Free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of that version's code are permitted.
  • When distributing copies or substantial portions of the code, retain the original author's copyright notice and the full MIT license notice.
  • The code is provided as is; warranties and limitations of liability are governed by the original license and applicable law.

Additional costs & items to verify

  • Demo images are for display only and have their own licenses; the project has no right to share these images. Before use, you must obtain authorization yourself or replace them with properly licensed assets; you cannot directly reuse the images in the repository.
  • The template is preconfigured with the third-party headless CMS Sitepins; visual content editing requires using that external service (which may require account registration) and is not a purely local feature.
  • Enabling Google Analytics requires providing your own Google account and tracking ID, which is an external service dependency.
  • Enabling Google Maps requires using Google Maps services, which may involve an account, API key, and corresponding fees.
  • The contact form requires integration with a third-party form service or backend to actually send and receive emails; a static site itself does not provide email sending capability.
  • Demo images, fonts, icons, and other third-party assets must be checked under their respective licenses and cannot be judged solely by the code's MIT license.
  • External services such as domain, hosting, database, payment, or AI may incur additional charges.

How this score is calculated

Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

What to verify for this project

Repository update recorded

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.

The catalog identifies Hugo as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.
