I'm curious to know if anyone uses this or has any experience, I'm aware that it's a little bit obscure but I figure some of you might have needed such service before.

For my work I've used a variety of Academic resources, but they usually require you to look throughout the various publications yourself. Microsoft Academic Search gives you a quick way to search through all the large publications and also provides some very nice info-graphics. Google has a similar offering with Google Scholar, however I have found that MAS gives much better results.

What has your experience been with this?
