Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

This extension only works for Scopus authenticated users. The Scopus download manager will not do anything for unauthenticated users.

Scopus Document Download Manager is a free browser extension enabling download functionality in Scopus, as well as a Quick Document Search function for Scopus authenticated users. To search, authenticated users can simply click on the browser extension icon to display the search form.

This extension saves authenticated users the hassle of visiting individual publisher web sites to download documents one by one. Instead, it seamlessly connects to publisher websites to download full text PDFs directly from your browser without needing to configure and maintain a list of entitlements.

How do you use this extension in Scopus?

1) From the document search results or document list pages, select one or several documents and click on Download button

Useless

Nader Ahmed2021年8月4日

Terrible idea that creates more problems than it solves. Can't download the articles I want despite having access to them.

jf c2021年7月1日

always be told to use another tool called Mendeley Web Importer，no longer use anymore

Alex Costall2021年6月30日

Install an extension just to find out the PDF can't be retrieved. On three separate articles.

Federico Cassissa2021年6月18日

Vergognoso che sia richiesta una estensione per scaricare un file...

Jurriaan Den Toonder2021年6月14日

This extension does not work at all. It makes no sense to hide the published URLs to try and force people to download through this extension. It works awful and you'd best try another website than scopus to find your articles that you are trying to download.

JESUS ANTONIO FERNANDEZ ASCENCIO2021年5月24日

No puedo descargar artículos en pdf pese a que me pide instalarlo y ya lo hice, pero no funciona.

Plínio Larrubia2021年4月30日

I don't like the ideia i need to use this extension to be able to download an Cientific Article, because i log in as my Institution and then need to download an extension just to be able to reach it's page? really? Please remove this, it's not a great tool as there are many tools and other Academic databases for researching.

Faith Bartlett2021年4月30日

I could find no problem and it could download the papers I wanted :)

我就下个文献，整那么麻烦，有病是吧

PDF download manager for Scopus that enables batch downloading of full-text PDFs from academic publisher websites

Scopus authenticated users normally must visit each individual publisher website separately to download documents. This extension automates PDF retrieval by connecting to publisher sites directly from Scopus search results, eliminating the need to manually navigate to each publisher and configure entitlements.

1) User is authenticated on Scopus website via institutional or personal account. 2) User performs document search on Scopus and selects documents. 3) User clicks Download button on Scopus page. 4) Content script (contentScript.js) receives the download request event and uses pdf-locator library to resolve PDF URLs from publisher sites. 5) Background script (backgroundScript.js) fetches PDF data or triggers direct downloads via chrome.downloads API. 6) PDFs are saved to browser Downloads folder.

Target users: Scopus authenticated researchers and academics / Institutional library users with Scopus access / Researchers needing to download multiple academic papers efficiently

The extension has no login UI of its own—it relies entirely on Scopus website authentication. The exact mechanism of how it detects the authenticated Scopus session is embedded in the minified pdf-locator library and Scopus page JavaScript.
The popup.html references a 'Quick Document Search' feature in the store description but the current popup code only shows informational text and a close button—no search form is visible in the current version.
The content scripts run on all HTTP/HTTPS pages (http://*/* and https://*/*) despite the extension only being useful on Scopus pages, which is an overly broad content script injection pattern.

Monetization

No paid features detected

The store description explicitly describes this as 'a free browser extension.' The extension source code contains no payment flows, subscription checks, premium feature gates, or billing API calls. All 'pro' keyword matches are false positives from font file names (NexusSansWebPro) and metadata hashes. Scopus itself requires institutional/subscription access, but the extension itself does not gate any features behind payment.

Confidence: 95
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: Yes
Reason: The extension explicitly states it 'only works for Scopus authenticated users' and 'provides no functionality for unauthenticated Scopus users.' It relies on the user being logged into Scopus (scopus.com) to access document pages and trigger downloads. The extension itself implements no login UI or authentication flow—it depends entirely on an active Scopus session in the browser.
