@cxli For context: the #acmdl frictions make systematic reviews painful. It feels borderline unusable as a research tool and is incomplete.
#googlescholar is more complete, but the accuracy of the metadata drops off. I've found that historic searches (e.g., <1950) are mostly incorrectly dated.

"As of January 1, 2026, #ACM completed its transition to full #openaccess: all ACM-published articles and related research artifacts in the DL are freely available worldwide without barriers to reading or reuse. This is a significant step forward for the #computing field and reflects years of planning, collaboration, and input from across the community. Few scholarly societies have undertaken a transition of this scale, and we’re all proud to be leading the way and expanding access to computing #research globally." 🥳

For example, you can find my CHI paper on #tagging via https://dl.acm.org/action/doSearch?AllField=%22Karl+Voit%22 (or https://karl-voit.at/tagstore/en/papers.shtml for all of my #filemanagement papers including the PhD thesis)
Many advanced features are available with "DL Premium" only though.
