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

It is a scandal. I cannot download any article from scopus anymore, also those "open access" type, even though I have institutional access, because the page forces me to use the extension, which needs to be linked to google account (it doesn't accept any other e-mail address). How many institutions are there tha have instutitional google accounts for their emploees? It is ridiculous!

Why does this even need a plugin

Thomas Hirn2020年10月28日

Scopus website required the app for downloading a specific pdf file. After installing the app, it said "PDF not available". Just annoying!

Emre Yiğitbaşı2020年10月19日

such a nuisance

This idea sucks. just a waste of time

Paulina Dominguez Acosta2020年7月17日

Pointless... Doesn't even work..

Completely ridiculous that you would need a browser extension to download journal articles. Don't download this, find your papers elsewhere, thanks for wasting my time Scopus.

Mason Stoecker2020年3月17日

This is objectively spyware and there is absolutely no reason for this to exist.

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.
