Ask HN: Best Alternative to Google Scholar?

8 pointsEngineering-MD2 comments

I have managed to move away from google for most of my tasks, but struggle to find an openly accessible alternative to google scholar which actually works and links to pdfs of the research. What alternatives would you recommend?

BASE is one of the world's most voluminous search engines especially for academic web resources

I like Semantic Scholar: https://www.semanticscholar.org
