arXiv as an alternative to Google Scholar is a bit misleading, since
1. arXiv does not feature any sort of metrics (h-index, citations count) for the author(s) and
2. Probably no author's complete list of non-informal publications would be available on arXiv, which is why it may not be the place to look for some obscure paper of said author(s).

- dhairya 6y agoI'd suggest Semantic Scholar (https://www.semanticscholar.org/ https://www.semanticscholar.org/) as an alternative to Google Scholar. It's maintained by the nonprofit Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence and has many useful features (both metrics based and more interesting things like tracing idea influence).
- brummm 6y agoYeah, it's kind of silly really. Google scholar feeds off the arxiv.
