Yes, I use it more-or-less like Google Scholar. The main advantage is that the reviews can be enlightening in their own right, and they are sometimes a better source of keywords than the full text. | |

Really, I always used Google Scholar to get specific papers referenced elsewhere, where I wanted to get the full text, not just a review. | |

After that, it's a lot like Google Scholar, except that it is much better organized. On the negative side, you only search the reviews and not the full text; but the reviews are a great set of third-party abstracts. | |
