I forgot I had downloaded this and was wondering why I could access academic articles on Chrome but not Firefox. This thing is currently saving me right now as I write an essay that has so many readings my univeristy doesn't have access to | |

This extension always tries to download PDF file from Wikipedia pages even though I turned everything related to PDF off. | |

Couldn't get it to work. It's also sluggish and fills up your browser tab. | |

雖說找到pdf很方便，但按了可沒有下載功能，除非某個網站把下載按鈕藏起來，不然實在雞肋阿 | |

It is great, but it needs some improvement. It takes forever for it to show infos like an impact factor on some journals such as "Advances in Colloid and Interface Science". If there is no info in the database, can it just admit it and mark it as unknown instead of keep searching? Plus, maybe I was wrong but I think you should be able to find a complete list in excel file for impact factor somewhere on the internet. | |

Not sure how I ever did any assignments without it. Originally looking for Refworks this beats it hands down. the ability to find full text/PDF and associated papers are great. Don't forget it will cite the paper in which ever format you need, including the particular university style. Ie "Coventry-Harvard" or "DeMonfort-MLA". There's also the "related/suggested papers" tab which will find as it says on the tin related papers usually with full text and referencing. Could not recommend it enough. | |

Runs automatically, even when it's configured not to. Since I can't turn it off without disabling the extension, I wonder what data it's sending out about my browsing habits! | |
