Leaders at a growing number of universities across the country say they are looking for ways to cut costs and buy time, as questions swirl around President Trump's efforts to slash financial support for some schools. Education experts say the pullback of resources will not only hurt current and prospective students, staff and faculty, but could also harm the local economies of university towns and ultimately make the U.S. less competitive globally.

...

Many universities have said that the hiring pauses are temporary, and will be evaluated when they have more information about the status of federal support.

...

The Trump administration has threatened to pull federal funding from schools that don't eliminate diversity initiatives or adequately protect Jewish students from discrimination. It also moved to limit National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding for research universities.

And it's proposed eliminating the Department of Education, whose responsibilities include managing college financial aid and federal student loans. The department announced Tuesday that it is laying off nearly 50% of its workforce, but says it will continue to deliver programs protected by law.

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!

Resource List

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.

Literary Search Engines

• ⭐️BASE: One of the world's most voluminous search engines especially for academic web resources. You can access the full texts of about 60% of the indexed documents for free (Open Access). BASE is operated by Bielefeld University Library.
• CAS SCIFINDER: More than a literature and chemical compound database, CAS SciFindern leverages human curation to deliver relevant, actionable insights so you can innovate faster.
• GET THE RESEARCH: Clean, simple academic search engine with an open access toggle. Leverages Open Access and AI to help nonspecialists find, read, and understand scholarly research.
• FATCAT!: Fatcat is a versioned, publicly editable catalogue of research publications: journal articles, conference proceedings, pre-prints, blog posts, etc. The goal is to improve the state of preservation and access to these works by providing a manifest of full-text content versions and locations.

Literature Mapping

• CITATION GECKO: Gecko helps you find the most relevant papers to your research and give you a more complete sense of the research landscape.
• CODA: Use Coda, a machine-readable history of cooperation research, to search, select and visualize studies for on-demand meta-analysis.
• ⭐️CONNECTED PAPERS: To explore connections between published papers (e.g., for a literature review), use Connected Papers. This is also nice to see the reach of your own research! It is a "unique, visual tool to help researchers and applied scientists find and explore papers relevant to their field of work".
• CONSENSUS: A search engine that uses AI to extract and summarize findings from scientific work.
• COVIDENCE: This paid tool is well worth its money, because it helps you screen and decide on hundreds of papers if you're working on a systematic review.
• DIMENSIONS: Dimensions is a linked research knowledge system that re-imagines discovery and access to research. Developed by Digital Science in collaboration with over 100 leading research organizations around the world, Dimensions brings together grants, publications, citations, alternative metrics, clinical trials, patents and policy documents to deliver a platform that enables users to find and access the most relevant information faster, analyze the academic and broader outcomes of research, and gather insights to inform future strategy.
• ELICIT: Elicit is your AI research assistant that "uses language models to help you automate research workflows", by finding "relevant papers without perfect keyword match", summarizing "takeaways from the paper specific to your question", and extracting relevant information.
• INCITEFUL: AI tool that analyses a network of academic papers to help you discover the most relevant literature.
• INTRIGUE: Intrigue lets you quickly organize the papers you read alongside your thoughts in a visual & clean manner. Check out the web demo, which also serves as a tutorial.
• LITERATURE-MAP: The Literature-Map is part of Gnod, the Global Network of Discovery. It is based on Gnooks, Gnod's literature recommendation system. The more people like an author and another author, the closer together these two authors will move on the Literature-Map.
• LITMAPS: An all-rounder tool for visual research navigation, citation network search, and team synchronization.
• OPEN KNOWLEDGE MAPS: A tool which creates a topical overview for your search query based on the 100 most relevant documents.
• PUBREMINER: Detailed analyses of PubMed Search results.
