Can anyone recommend Google Scholar alternatives? (lemmy.world)

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!

Internet Archive Scholar is somewhat different, perhaps more archival and less up to date on the latest research, but it's pretty neat.

That said, Google Scholar is the only Google search I still default to. Haven't found a good alternative yet.

That's pretty helpful for when I need to look at older stuff, thank you!
