Steve B HoltI hope the two guys that keep Google Scholar going as a pet project didn't get laid off. Just as a quiet reminder of the fragile contingency of this core academic service.
Ruth Mottram@SteveBHolt there is of course now the internet archive scholar, which seems to work as well as Google scholar. May or may not be as fragile as the Google version but at least there's a back up!

Lambert Heller@chpietsch @Ruth_Mottram @SteveBHolt Yes, @base deserves more attention, IA Scholarly as well. Another one I'd throw in: @OpenAlex. Have a look at their surprisingly good and complete journal metadata from a plethora of sources, matching of authors as well as institutions names, citation graph, and on top of that, all metadata is free (CC0, the real deal), and access via API ist possible.
OpenAlex@Lambo @chpietsch @Ruth_Mottram @SteveBHolt @base Yes, please have a look at us! We have huge coverage, a serious sustainability plan, and we're already being used by libraries, rankings, and bibliometricians around the globe. https://openalex.org
Jonathan Horowitz@OpenAlex Interesting. Is there a way to "claim" a profile like with Google Scholar?
@jonathanhorowi1 There will be soon! In the meantime, we are taking requests for corrections to author data via this form: https://openalex.org/author-change-request
