Your CGScholar Wallet is where you can view a summary of the Points and Credits connected to your CGScholar account.
Points and Credits both appear in your Wallet, but they work in different ways.
Points are earned through eligible scholarly activity, such as registering for a conference or becoming a Research Network Member.
Credits are added to your Wallet from refunds or other account adjustments and can be used at payment points in the CGScholar scholarly communication ecosystem.
