this is the beta version
it searches the scholarly journal literature
and finds free online versions of articles (if you don't have a

be estimated at least roughly by how often other articles
cite it as reference)
thanks to "uncle Al" for this bit of news
I expect this new "scientist version" of

Here is something in Nature journal about it
