For people who are familiar with this database, are the papers in it trustworthy?
It's nice to search directly in scienific papers, but only if they're reputable.
- PNewling 3y agoI'm not super familiar with them, but taking a quick look it looks like the have a lot of papers published by the Allen Institute in Seattle[0] (which I am much more familiar with). So I would say they at least carry very reputable papers. Here[1] is a summary of Semantic Scholar Database in the National Library of Medicine (note also from an Allen Institute spinoff, but it just made it easy to search for something I know as reputable).

- orzig 3y agoYes, I am a subscriber. They have little icons like “rigorous journal”, “systemic review”, “meta-analysis” and (if you give this any weight) “highly cited”. I believe you can filter by those in your search as well.
