Paper Of The Day Extension

PAPER OF THE DAY IS ENDING (April 2021)
Sadly, there is no easy way to say this, but this is the end.

The API providing Paper Of The Day (POTD) with trending papers is being decommissioned. I'm not sure exactly when this will happen, but at some point soon, POTD will no longer receive new documents.

I hope you had some magical discovery moments opening new tabs with us over the last few years.

Thank you to everyone who supported me on this journey. It was a lot of fun.

-----
Paper of the day is a fantastic way for you to get a glimpse of different trending academic articles from a range of disciplines from the comfort of your browser. Make each new tab opened the start of a beautiful intellectual journey.
