Today's article will be a little different than usual. Partly because we don't know too much about the topic we're talking about and this is, as you know, a notable exception. In fact, we are used to writing only about things we know, of things we use and have tried. The idea of doing an article on alternatives to ResearchGate instead it came directly to you: come on Codeberg what up Telegram.

For this reason in this article we will not analyze everything that we have been told as we do not have the skills to do so on all the links inserted, but in our opinion it will still be an interesting article as we will present you with search engines that are different from the usual and above all they are all alternatives proposed by you. As always, anyone with anything to add is welcome and welcome!

For all search engines we will try, as always, to remain within the legal framework.
