The Infography is an open-access bibliography on a growing number of scientific and scholarly topics. To insure quality, the publisher, Fields of Knowledge, invites subject-matter experts to submit citations. If they submit more than six, then they must specify which six are the most important. The result is a manageable and human-filtered alternative to the avalanche of citations produced by search engines. Of course it's also searchable.
(PS: Full disclosure: I'm not a neutral observer. I just completed the Infography section on Free Online Scholarship.)

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
