@tiago @academicchatter I try and avoid anything Google related. I still find that #WebOfScience is the most reliable source of high quality academic literature, by a LOOOONG way!

@tiago @academicchatter PubMed fills out my needs until we get to toxicology, those folks have whole worlds of cool stuff that doesn't show up without very precise searching.

@DrSimonCarr @tiago @academicchatter Not sure that Google is morally superior to Clarivate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarivate ("[~50% profit margin ...] in the range of entertainment software and tobacco industries, and ahead of pharmaceutical, oil/gas and cell phone industries ... anti-competitive practices in a highly oligopolistic academic database market ...") Agree that #WebofScience is a way better search interface for academic articles ... #Scopus may be even better but ugh, Elsevier!

@bbolker @DrSimonCarr @tiago @academicchatter Y'all should check out @OpenAlex It's like WoS and Scopus but on an unrestricted data license and better overall coverage. I'm using it for a current project and will never go back.

@danriggins @DrSimonCarr @tiago @academicchatter @OpenAlex Hmm. " If you want to explore the data as a human, you may be more interested in OpenAlex Web. This web interface is currently in the alpha stage of development, with a beta launch coming soon " ... that puts me off a little bit - may try it out the next time I have something programmatic/bibliometric to do, but I'm not sure I want to learn a new API to do a quick search ... ? Or am I missing something?

@bbolker @danriggins @DrSimonCarr @tiago @academicchatter The web interface will be up in beta *very* soon, and you'll be able to do all sorts of quick searches and much more. Can't give an exact data just yet, but please don't give up on us yet!
