Pretty good catalog of research publications.
Has a good API, which I’ve used for making Anki flashcards on research papers.
Also a good way of finding open access PDFs.
For example here’s an entry for a research paper I was involved in
- Internet Archive Scholar (https://scholar.archive.org/)
- Internet Archive’s scholarly search
- Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/)
- Google’s scholarly search engine. Works decently well. Also like Google Scholar’s alerts feature.
- Litmaps (https://app.litmaps.co/)
- Helps you connect different articles together.
- Connected Papers (https://www.connectedpapers.com/)
- Connects citations in a visual graph.
- Crossref Metadata Search (https://search.crossref.org/)
- Search metadata. I think I tend to prefer fatcat, but Crossref also has a good api
- Semantic Scholar (https://www.semanticscholar.org/)
- “AI-powered research tool”. Also has a good API, I think.
- arXiv.org (https://arxiv.org/)
- Preprint archive.
- bioRxiv.org (https://www.biorxiv.org/)
- Preprints for biology.
- PubMed (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/)
- Search biomedical literature.
- PubMed Central (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/)
- Free full-text archive of biomedical literature.
- Directory of Open Access Journals (https://doaj.org/)
- Open access journals & articles. Looks like it also has an API.
- shareyourpaper.org (https://shareyourpaper.org/)
- Helps researchers share their paper. I haven’t tried it yet. Linked to by fatcat.
- OA.Works (https://oa.works/)
- Open Access tools? Linked to by shareyourpaper.org.
- OpenAlex (https://openalex.org/)
- Another open database of research articles? Haven’t tried yet. Mentioned by fatcat.
- Unpaywall (https://unpaywall.org/)
- An extension to look up articles by DOI. I haven’t used it.
- Academic Torrents
- https://academictorrents.com/
- Torrent-distributed datasets for researchers. Haven’t used it yet, but seems interesting.
