Except you would never (or never properly) have attribution in (commercial) LLM answers. (I agree on the matter, not on that specific argument).

Are recommendation services different from search and useful in themselves? I think it really depends on user's needs (expert vs. basic reco), their discipline/focus and their expectations (how many useless recommendations do I bear?).

OpenAlex has many objects other than publications, ie figshare ppts and now datasets from Datacite. At Matilda, we wish to focus on textual objects. There is also the question of deduplication (we have around 250M texts, 155M post deduplication). We chose to associate AAM, preprints and VoR.
