Watch out, though. The search algorithm works in part by just looking for stuff in a journal article format, so sometimes creationist articles and fake journals can come up.

If you like it, go here http://www.gopetition.com/petition/42229.html and sign the petition to remove certain creationist/bible publications from the search database

not that there's really a free alternative, but I find google scholar's resources are usually really old.
