Google Scholar Alternatives

Original Post

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/26113659

I'm using DDG or searx for all my casual searching, but haven't been able to find a good search engine for scholarly articles specifically. Scrolling through pages upon pages of forum posts and educational stuff for teens/kids is unfortunately too time consuming when I'm specifically looking for research papers. I'd also need to be filtering by year of publication since I need to know what's currently going on in my field, not what was going on 30 years ago.

TIA!

Excuse the sloppy copy paste from something I was working on. Note I've not checked the urls in some time and the descriptions were mostly automated.
