It's quite useful. But it keeps popping up automatically even when the options had all been set to "no". This is really annoying and unusable.

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.

I love the updates: ability to click to show, buttons for add to mendeley, sci hub and university library buttons too.

Thank you! I just wish Google would allow an option to put a small "open access" symbol next to a search result to indicate which articles are free to read.

It was fine and great for a while. There was a recent update that has it saying that facebook is a predatory journal. ... not so much.

Great extension. Quite useful. Though the new predatory journal detection is kinda glitchy and shows up at random pages that are not journals at all. For instance if you try to view a page's source code, you'll see it pop up.

great idea and works most of the time. helps a lot if you or your library do not have access to certain journals. if you are lucky you will find full text versions of articles with this extension.
