ScholarZO-Publication Tracker

ScholarZO is a professional browser extension created for researchers, students, and academics who want a simple and reliable way to manage their Google Scholar publications directly from their browser. Instead of repeatedly visiting Google Scholar to review your work, ScholarZO brings your publication data into a clean, dedicated interface and keeps it synchronized automatically. It is designed to save time, reduce manual effort, and present your academic output in a clear and structured way.

Once installed, ScholarZO allows you to enter your public Google Scholar Profile ID and securely retrieves your publication data from your profile. The extension extracts important information for each publication, including the title, authors, year of publication, source or venue, citation count, publication link, and abstract or description when available. All retrieved information is stored locally in your browser, ensuring fast access while maintaining user privacy.

ScholarZO automatically organizes publications into meaningful academic categories. Each publication is carefully analyzed using venue information, publisher patterns, citation metadata, and recognized patent identifiers to determine whether it belongs to conference papers, journal articles, or patents. This intelligent classification removes the need for manual tagging and ensures that your research output is accurately structured.

The extension presents your publications through a dynamic dashboard designed specifically for a browser extension environment. Publications are displayed in clearly separated sections for conferences, journals, and patents, making it easy to browse and review your work. Built-in search and sorting features allow you to quickly locate publications by title, year, or citation count, while direct links provide immediate access to the original sources.

ScholarZO also includes automatic synchronization to keep your data up to date. The extension periodically checks your Google Scholar profile for changes and detects newly added publications. When an update is found, the local data is refreshed automatically and a browser notification informs you that a new publication has been added. A manual refresh option is available at any time for users who prefer to check for updates on demand.

The user interface of ScholarZO is designed to be minimal, elegant, and professional. It features a refined purple and dark contrast theme and supports both light and dark modes to match user preferences. The layout is fully responsive and optimized for extension popups, providing a smooth and distraction-free experience.
