(16 Dec 2024) Google Scholar turned 20 last month and Nature wrote a piece with the title “Can Google Scholar survive the AI revolution?” and quoted as saying
“Up until recently, Google Scholar was my default search,” says Aaron Tay, an academic librarian at Singapore Management University. It’s still top of his list, but “recently, I started using other AI tools.”
This led me to think, how and when do I use Google Scholar vs other “AI search tools”?
Aaron Tay shares his personal view of how Google Scholar compares to come AI tools.
