TwoGemsWhat is the best website to search for scholarly articles?
br3dI’m a professional researcher and we all use Google Scholar. I’ve never seen Captchas on there. Are you on Scholar itself, or standard Google?
I use standard Google. Should I just use scholar? I’m trying to reduce my use of Google’s services though.
Google scholar is fine. There’s little opportunity for them to enshittify since it’s quite easy to construct a journal crawler and there really can’t be that much revenue from people searching for these highly esoteric topics.
And, the people you’d be pissing off would be the ones that are capable of creating a competitor.
Also, their own employees.
Thanks
Semantic Scholar is awesome. I use it every now and then.
Perplexity.ai, a general purpose search engine with AI, has an academic setting that leverages Semantic Scholar…but I think going to SS is just better. If you’re looking for article by a particular scholar—I like content written by Patricia Roberts-Miller—then Perplexity.ai is a good bet.
Captchas on Google? What?
if you use VPN and someone abuse the IPs, then you’ll likely get captchas.
Interesting, I’ve never heard of that
Local library
University library (alumni and community members sometimes have access to research holdings)
Google Scholar
ResearchGate
KinNectar@TwoGems my business partner just turned me on to www.researchrooster.ai he says it is very helpful for uncovering webs of papers that cite each other and tracking new publication
Thanks!
