Extension summary

Analyze keywords

When you install Scholar Reader, PDFs on all sites will have a new look in Chrome. To make this happen, Chrome will ask for permissions to read and change data on all sites. Scholar Reader makes no changes other than the presentation of PDFs.

• Preview references as you read. Click the in-text citation to see a summary and find the PDF. • Read faster with the AI outline. Get a quick overview and click on interesting bullets to jump within the paper. • Click in-text figure mentions to see the figure and the back button to keep reading. • Make it right for your eyes with light, dark, and night modes. • Copy and paste common citation formats without leaving the paper. • Save articles to your Scholar Library to read or cite later.
