Gave it a whirl. It appears indeed powerful. Google sucks for literature search because most literature is behind paywalls, so you essentially search abstracts. Pubmed sucks because well... It's a got a bit of a primitive search algorithm. This actually works holy shit. I'll introduce it to my lab mates, thank you!

Pubmed has Mesh terms so many use it for systemic literature reviews.

Sci-hub.se

Sci-hub for a literature search? It's gold for someone without a good institutional access or for some rare to find articles, but you can only search DOIs, no?

Very neat and creative tool. 👍

Thanks for the re-post. This looks really helpful and I missed it two years ago!

Google scholar -> abstract -> DOI on sci-hub if promising

Well yes. But let's say you're interested in a very particular method being used in a paper. That method is often not mentioned in abstracts or to enough detail to discern by a keyword search. Searching by anything that probes abstracts will never get you a comprehensive result. You need an engine that searches also article body. That's my whole point I'm raising.

Then inciteful.xyz or connectedpapers.com are pretty good. They look for citations, keywords and authors to graph relevant papers from a seed of selected papers.

In my experience though, Google is pretty good at giving the few most relevant results.

I used it for my thesis a few months back, although I had to tweak a few things. Very nice to have it generate it for latex.

Does it export references to Zotero?

Sorry, I have no clue. Never tried Zotaro.

Didn't Google Scholar search in the full texts? I don't recall anymore.

I really want to start seeing these for the arts and humanities as well. I've seen like three or four science based ones now.

I also knew this. I think Google partners with publishers so that Google can index full texts

nice

Sweet!

Google is fine so long as you have LibKey Nomad or equivalent installed.

Couldn't find an option to filter by peer reviewed status. Kinda useless
