I'm a professional researcher and we all use Google Scholar. I've never seen Captchas on there. Are you on Scholar itself, or standard Google?

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I use standard Google. Should I just use scholar? I'm trying to reduce my use of Google's services though.
Google scholar is fine. There's little opportunity for them to enshittify since it's quite easy to construct a journal crawler and there really can't be that much revenue from people searching for these highly esoteric topics.
And, the people you'd be pissing off would be the ones that are capable of creating a competitor, and there's already competitors.
Also, their own employees.
Thanks
Semantic Scholar is awesome. I use it every now and then.
Perplexity.ai, a general purpose search engine with AI, has an academic setting that leverages Semantic Scholar...but I think going to SS is just better. If you're looking for article by a particular scholar—I like content written by Patricia Roberts-Miller—then Perplexity.ai is a good bet.
Thanks!

You may be surprised by the amount of journals and other scholarly resources you can access through your local library.
Captchas on Google? What?
if you use VPN and someone abuses the IPs, then you'll likely get captchas.
Interesting, I've never heard of that
@TwoGems my business partner just turned me on to www.researchrooster.ai he says it is very helpful for uncovering webs of papers that cite each other and tracking new publication
Thanks!
