Scholia is a useful tool for finding scientific literature. Based on the main topic of a publication, you can find literature similar to a publication you are looking into or literature you didn’t know about or consider. Additionally, you can take advantage of all of the annotation work of others when finding literature. Proper annotation also makes scientific literature more findable.
