About this extension
Easily import articles and webpages to your Papers by ReadCube library.

The new Papers browser extension enhances the workflows in your research lifecycle: from searching and navigating to the full-text, to staying organized, reading and annotating, sharing and collaborating with colleagues, and finally citing papers and generating a bibliography in a manuscript.

• Find papers as you normally would across the web, including discovery sites like PubMed, Google Scholar, Dimensions, BioRxiv and most journal websites. Our extension instantly recognizes if a paper is in a personal or shared library collection for instant access. No more downloading the same paper multiple times.

• If it’s a new addition to your library, save references and PDFs, if available, directly to a personal or shared collection within your library. No more random PDFs piling up in your download folder or desktop.

• If you have the paper in your library, you can enjoy the same Enhanced PDF reading experience through our streamed PDF that opens wherever you are discovering new papers. Hyperlinked inline references, annotation and drawing tools, streamed supplemental files, article metrics, high-res figure browser and more.

Release notes for 6.1.1
Improvements:

Simpler PDF download process
We streamlined how PDFs are downloaded in the browser extension. Downloads now support more scenarios smoothly, reducing interruptions and giving users a more reliable experience.

Cleaner options when adding PDFs
We removed the outdated “Go to publisher with proxy” button to avoid confusion and keep the workflow focused on the most useful actions.

Choose your library when saving PDFs with injected PDF button
When adding a PDF through the “Save PDF to Papers by ReadCube” button, you can now select which library it should be saved to. This helps you stay organized when working across multiple projects.

Bug Fixes:

PubMed results now recognized
Fixed an issue where the extension sometimes didn’t detect search results in PubMed. You can now seamlessly add articles from PubMed into your library again.

Reliable Elsevier downloads
Large PDFs from Elsevier could previously fail to download. This has been resolved, so all file sizes are supported.

Improved Kluwer support
We fixed several issues with downloads from Kluwer to ensure more consistent performance.

Tooltips restored
The tooltip for the “Open library” icon was missing in some versions. It is now back to help you quickly understand the button’s function.
