This is the World Religions and Spirituality Project's own profile of Eckankar, hosted by Virginia Commonwealth University, a peer-reviewed academic reference database entry on new and minority religious movements rather than a full scholarly monograph. Its strength is that the Project applies genuine academic peer review to entries covering movements, such as Eckankar, that receive comparatively little attention in conventional academic publishing, giving a reasonably reliable overview where a full monograph may not exist. Its limit is exactly that format, as a reference database entry rather than an extended study it summarizes Eckankar's history and teaching concisely rather than arguing any point in depth, so a claim needing detailed analysis of Eckankar's specific doctrine needs a more extensive source alongside this reliable but brief academic profile.
