“I haven’t been bitten by Google killing an app or service since Google Reader, because I never again trusted them.”
👆 this.
(Also note: I am aware of Gruber’s terrible takes on the EU, and Threads, and a bunch of other stuff. But on this he is spot on. The Google Graveyard is so damaging to Google’s brand, it’s astonishing to me that (a) anyone still uses Google products, and (b) the execs still kill stuff rather than keeping it on life support just for reputation.) https://mastodon.social/@daringfireball/112204358739653554
If you search by author instead (notice the pulldown menu to the left of the search bar at the top), then you can visit an author's page, and see bibliometrics – like in Google Scholar. Myself: https://openalex.org/authors/a5042603640
Signing up to OpenAlex lets you automate alerts and save searches.
The Scholar Archive is more alike Google Scholar in layout, listing links to publishers and to PDFs, but more dependent (relative to OpenAlex) on typing in keywords into the search box. Again, myself for Drosophila: https://scholar.archive.org/search?q=Albert+Cardona+Drosophila
Underneath, it uses the fatcat wiki.
@albertcardona OpenAlex is highly active, constantly improving, and committed to a future of open scholarly data. We have coverage rivaling google scholar. We are very community-minded, and have a serious sustainability plan. Please check us out! https://openalex.org
Thank you. Can I claim my own profile, perhaps authenticated via ORCID, and curate it? At the moment, my own name appears mixed up with half a dozen others.
@albertcardona@ashinonyx Those are things that will be coming soon (claiming author profiles, tighter ORCID integration). In the meantime, we are taking requests for corrections to author data via this form: https://openalex.org/author-change-request
