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

ineffective

Jett Teixeira2023年4月29日

Inspecciona toda tu actividad en chrome para saber si has entrado a cierto tipo de páginas y publica tu IP en bases de datos para que sea bloqueada en diferentes plataformas. Cuidado roban tus datos sin decírtelo.

DAVID ABBASI PEREZ2023年3月23日

Such a useless add-on and unnecessary step to bloat the browser, just to download a document; something that has been solved since the beginning of the internet.

Sergiy Storozhenko2023年3月17日

Another useless plugin for invading users privacy

Indra Widyana2023年3月11日

Unnecessary invasion. Why should you need a specific browser extension to download documents ? on top of that it access and read data on ALL sites you visit by default. Be very cautious of this extension!

Blanca Vidao Teruel2023年2月26日

No funciona

Eduardo Bustíos2023年1月30日

Una basura, no solo no permiten descargar el documento directamente desde la página como hacen TODOS los otros sitios web de los que he descargado archivos, sino que la extensión que supuestamente permitirá descargarlos NO FUNCIONA.

DOES NOT WORK

Nuno Soares2022年11月28日

There is no need to have an extension for downloading PDFs, this isn't a requirement for other websites. Honestly just feels shady... Specially after GDPR.

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.
