Extension summary

In many fields, men and women are not cited at the level that one would expect given their prevalence in the field. One way we can help mitigate this bias is by making the perceived genders of first and last authors of papers more transparent in the search for references. Towards this goal, this extension adds probabilistic gender information to paper searches on Google Scholar and PubMed.

User reviews

It's a great idea but unfortunately in its current state does not work on Asian names.

Convenient, easy-to-install tool that allows obtaining probabilistic gender info while searching for articles/citations. Works well both with PubMed and Google Scholar. Strongly recommend!
