I have gotten rid of most #google-services, but #googlescholar is one of the systems that I still use from time to time.

So maybe it's a good time to switch to @base instead!

My first tests look really promising!

Google Scholar Is Doomed

Academia built entire careers on a free Google service with zero guarantees. What could go wrong?

"My bold prediction? Scholar gets the axe within 5 years. Google will announce it with 12 months' notice, Bluesky will have a collective meltdown, universities will scramble for alternatives, and research workflows will be in chaos for years. "

#ProQuest + #GoogleScholar = scam? Exhibit #123:

- Researcher publishes article in journal, using #CC BY.
- ProQuest republishes article, with author, title, date, DOI, licence. Also, with terrible layout, but without images.
- Their DOI doesn't link anywhere. You need to type "https:/doi.org/", add the DOI, paste URL, to find the actual publication. Grey zone of CC BY requirements?
- GS indexes the publication and provides the ProQuest link instead of the proper URL.

Aaargh.
