Are there alternatives to google scholar and google patents? (lemmy.eco.br)

Due to my line of work, I find myself having to use both these services frequently, despite avoiding google as much as I can. I see a lot of alternatives out there for internet searching, but when it comes to specific fields, alternatives tend to be scarce.

There's https://scholar.archive.org/

Thank you for the recommendation. I didn't know archive.org had this feature, and it seems to be focused on open databases, something that even scholar doesn't do. It will help me a lot.
