Maybe that's YOUR concept, but not everyone's. If you go to Wikipedia, you can look at citations from a variety of sources, which doesn't depend on Google. You could go to the website of various news organizations and search through their archives, which also does not depend on Google.

Worry not! These days we also have Scihub, which is an absolute eye-opener for me as someone who never bothered with research papers before.
