Which academic databases does Scholar Search integrate with?

Accepted Answer

Scholar Search integrates seamlessly with both the Semantic Scholar API and the arXiv API, allowing your AI assistants to perform comprehensive searches and data retrieval across these leading academic resources.

Question 5
