Microsoft Academic was a free internet-based academic search engine for academic publications and literature, developed by Microsoft Research in 2016 as a successor of Microsoft Academic Search. Microsoft Academic was shut down at the end of 2021. Both OpenAlex and The Lens claim to be successors to Microsoft Academic.
