User reviews

A extensão ajuda muito quando se buscam referências e prende-se inserir em documentos LaTex

Almir Lima, 2025-02-24

This extension worked, then stopped working. Needed to reboot. Now it stop working completely. ngl this kinda makes jabref itself fairly useless as the extension is what makes entering in citations easy.

No siempre funciona pero en la mayoría de casos si. Ahorra mucho tiempo facilitando la importación de referencias, especialmente en páginas que no cuentan con una herramienta de exportación propia.
