Could There Be Some Viable Challengers to Google Scholar on the Horizon? - Absolutely Maybe
Could There Be Some Viable Challengers to Google Scholar on the Horizon? - Absolutely Maybe
In 2019, I wrote a pair of posts about the risks of our reliance on Google Scholar (GS), and search engine alternatives…
OpenAlex sounds really interesting! It would be fantastic if someone could develop a UI for viewing the local graph of an area of research (say, starting from a particular paper, and traversing the citations back and forward to build it the local network). Seems like it would be a very useful way to discover subareas, get good coverage on literature reviews, etc.
Marvelous, thank you!
How is semantic scholar a commercial project? It is made by the Allen AI institue, no?
So it would seem. Maybe the author made some leaps considering it's affiliations.

Yeah it seems like a leap :). I love semantic scholar, I like the tldr feature, and I was confused when I read it was commercial. Still an interesting article!
