Microsoft Academic Annoyances

Posted: 2/19/2020  Updated: 

I have been using Microsoft Academics for about 1.5 years or longer.

List of annoyances:
  1. A user’s Reading List has a ridiculous maximum limit of 1000 papers. It makes no sense in this day and age!
  2. I have lately noticed frequent stability issues with the website after entering paper titles in the search bar (as of 2/20/2020). Microsoft Academic fixed this issue by early March 2020, they even provided some feedback to me about the issue after me contacting them and that it was being remediated
  3. This is lousy done! Would be a very useful tool to drill down by topic [e.g. Active Learning] and then select certain journals! (3/17/2020)
    You cannot read the names of the top journals!
    You cannot select multiple top journals at once!


Notes:

  1. The list of annoyances will be amended as time goes by
