@williamgunn@mastodon.social @eaton@phire.place if you search for a given paper, you’re just as likely to find a low quality database that’s indexed the title or maybe the abstract as you are an actual source for the paper

@williamgunn@mastodon.social @eaton@phire.place so it’s not that they’re unavailable, although sometimes they are; but more that (like with Jeff’s example of user guides) you have to sort through a lot of churny false positives to even see if it can be found.

@tim@phire.place @eaton@phire.place You could be right. I guess I don't Google papers that often because I know where to look - Pubmed, Arxiv, etc.
