User reviews

These summaries are automatically generated weekly using AI based on recent user reviews. Chrome Web Store does not verify user reviews, so some user reviews may be inaccurate, spammy, or outdated.

Pros

Streams the research process significantly.
Excellent citation generator, particularly for APA 6.
Saves time when searching for articles, especially within university libraries.
Easy to use; simply clicking on a DOI takes the user to the document.
Customizable DOI resolver is very useful.

Cons

Needs to ignore prefixes like 'DOI: ' when selecting DOIs.
The automatic stripping of 'DOI:' is not case-insensitive.
Citation generation doesn't always work depending on the style selected.

Most mentioned

Works well and is very useful for searching literature.
Extension lacks some customizability and has minor bugs.
Save time in finding documents and managing citations.

User reviews

This is great, especially custom DOI resolver, if it can rewrite doi in pdf this would be even better!

Very well done. I've been using it for about 10 minutes now and haven't encountered a bug, which is more than I can say for most of my own code. It's such a simple thing but it streamlines the research process so much.
