Due to my line of work, I find myself having to use both these services frequently, despite avoiding google as much as I can. I see a lot of alternatives out there for internet searching, but when it comes to specific fields, alternatives tend to be scarce.

I used to have access to scopus and web of science from my university, but I don't have anymore, so I ended up using scholar, but looking for alternatives.

Elicit looks interesting, but I see that it requires a login, and has a bit weird privacy policy. I will check it in more detail, thanks.
