User reviews

Users find the Google Scholar Button extension very useful for quickly accessing scholarly articles and citations, enhancing research efficiency globally. However, multiple users expressed the need for additional citation formats (like ABNT and IEEE), a dark mode for better usability, and persistent search results across tabs. Some also noted occasional access issues with specific papers and desired bulk saving of search results to groups. Overall, the extension is highly valued but could benefit from more customization and stability enhancements.

Cons

Lacks some citation format options like ABNT and IEEE, desired by users

No feature to select and save multiple articles at once into groups

Very useful tool. I would like to suggest letting the search results persist when we temporarily navigate to a different tab.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Google Scholar Button requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
