I 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.
@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!
@Ruth_Mottram @SteveBHolt Without a citation graph, this tool looks only half as useful to me.
@LinqLover @SteveBHolt I prefer tools like connected papers than citation graphs now. I wrote up a bit about these on my blog here: http://sternaparadisaea.net/2022/11/28/literature-searching-the-fediverse/

@Ruth_Mottram @SteveBHolt Yeah, connected papers is great, but unfortunately not free any longer.

@LinqLover @Ruth_Mottram @SteveBHolt
