@hildabast I tried the same keyword search with scinapse.io and #GoogleScholar and the #scinapse results were more relevant. Just don't trust what comes up when you search your own name. It's hilariously inaccurate!

@hildabast I also like #ResearchRabbit, but I wouldn't consider it a replacement to #GoogleScholar. I use both.
