Does not work on scholar.google.de. Also tested to search a specific paper I rented on DeepDyve on scholar.google.com and the plugin didn't give me the link for some reason. However, more generic searches show some results.

Excelente opcion academica

It's exactly what I have wanted for two decades and didn't know it existed until now. Massive time-saving for extremely important Clinical and Research work, evidence for Courts, Medico=-legal evidence, etc.. Full marks to Deepdyve and Google!!
