#GoogleScholar is not forever. Will it soon follow Microsoft Academia to the graveyard?

For those wondering about alternatives: #OpenAlex is wonderfully growing, providing even more tailored insights for academia.

Hannah Shelley provides decisive arguments and a credible prophecy.

Since search is dead, how soon do you think Google Scholar is headed for the Google Graveyard? I'm betting it's soon, and academia is NOT prepared
Google Scholar Is Doomed
Academia built entire careers on a free Google service with zero guarantees. What could go wrong?

The choice of a data repository might be cumbersome.

I shared some working notes about qualitative and structured text datasets

Probably, there are some mistakes to correct or missing information. Would you help to correct them?

Spatial literacy is a key component in capacity building for sustainable land management.

By the way, this short video clearly showcases the notion of #territory
This short film explores how Indigenous communities are combining ancestral wisdom with cutting-edge technology to map and monitor their territories. From ancient traditions to modern tools, these approaches can help protect their biodiversity and heritage. @nature.org
