Alternatives to Google Scholar which are free to use and take an open research approach: Three I've come across are The Lens (www.lens.org), Matilda @matilda-science.bsky.social and OpenAlex (openalex.org) There may be others too, would be interested to hear about them!

Yup. But not just because of AI. Scholar is the pet project of one of Google's early employees. I can't see it surviving his retirement. OpenAlex is our best alternative, we need to invest in improving their data.

@europepmc.org does have all* of PubMed indexed (and indeed partners with PMC for full text) - in addition to other sources (incl. for preprints).
OpenAlex (openalex.org) and Lens (lens.org) similarly include all* PubMed records, as does @openaire.bsky.social (but less easy to filter in webUI)

Wow!
openalex.org looks like an amazing open alternative to Google Scholar.
Citation counts etc. look very similar to GScholar on a quick vanity search.
Check it out. Opens up a lot of possibilities for metascience.
