Astronomers: about 3 weeks to go before you'll have to use SciX instead of ADS. I took the plunge and updated all my links just now, everything works well (i.e. the team behind it is great, as usual). 🧪

So I take it the new SciX (replacing ADS) has scrapped several data repositories and listed them in the database associated with authors?
Can see a whole lot of our datasets on there now.
The metrics make it look like I am either a quack or have used AI to write hundreds of papers lol 😅

We hope there is enough positive with the new interface and almost no pain the changeover

Trying out the new SciX NASA ADS, I did a search on a rather obscure subject, just one hit, a paper I wrote twenty years ago!

@lavaeolus not really, the whole - it's also fully moved to SciX (it's in the article - let me know if it is not available for you in the link and I can send it to you).

Into the era of SciX. I switched over a few months ago knowing the transition was coming. The only way to make all astronomers use SciX is really to shutdown down NASA ADS. I think the SciX interface builds on what's great about ADS.

Nature Astronomy, Published online: 12 October 2026; doi:10.1038/s41550-026-02997-1For decades, the NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) has been the foundational digital library for astronomy. As ADS now becomes the Science Explorer (SciX), the team prioritizes preserving this trusted experience while increasing their support for space and Earth sciences more broadly, without diluting its commitment to astrophysics.

With news about the transition from ADS to SciX trending today, here's a little SciX superuser hot tip.
You can make SciX one of the search engine options in your browser, which then makes it easy to initiate a literature search from your navigation bar.

The switch to SciX is not that painful, especially now that the site is almost as fast as ADS. Much easier than other transitions in the field! And all of your account info ports just fine.

Talking about ADS and SciX to the grad students in my group, I've had to remind them that astronomy/planetary astronomy has been really lucky that there's a system that catalogs and sorts everything and easily gives us ways to find related papers and cited/referenced papers (plus the bibtex entry)

I tried to switch when they originally announced ADS was on the way out, but went back because found SciX less pleasant to use and found no benefits (for my work). Has It changed in any way?

Nature Astronomy, Published online: 12 October 2026; doi:10.1038/s41550-026-03009-yAfter more than 33 years, NASA’s Astrophysics Data System will close its virtual doors in November 2026 and be replaced by its much-expanded successor, Science Explorer. While the core functionality and astrophysics database will remain the same, SciX will extend its relevance to a broader range of scientists.
