Paper Memory Extension

An automated, web-based and minimalist reference manager that also finds code repositories.

It is not meant to replace, rather complete more standard reference managers as Zotero etc.

This browser extension allows you to do automatically store research papers you read, find a code repository and much more:

🏬 Automatically record papers you open, without clicking anywhere. You can then search them, tag them, comment them and link a code repository.

💻 Automatically find code repositories using PapersWithCode's API

🤝 Match pre-prints to publications using 4 different databases

🎬 Change a pdf's webpage title to the article's title, because who cares about that saved bookmark 1812.10889.pdf when it could be InstaGAN Instance-aware Image-to-Image Translation.pdf

🎫 BibTex citation, because citing papers should not be a hassle you can copy a BibTex citation to your clipboard or export the Memory itself as a .bib file

🔗 Markdown link, [title](url) because it's the little things that make sharing a paper easier (to be used in issues, PRs, Readme, HackMD.io etc.)

🗂 Direct download button with a nice name including the paper's title, so that you don't have to open the pdf's webpage and then download it from your browser.

📄 Go back from a pdf to its abstract page. For instance: from https://arxiv.org/pdf/1703.06907.pdf to https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.06907 in a click.

🏛️ Export your data as a .json file or a .bib full BibTex export

Oussama Boussif (ID: 000000b076d73383) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/27/2023 If you add hundreds of articles to Zotero only for them to pile up and be forgotten, then PaperMemory is for you!

Gabriel Huang (ID: 000000e397537dfd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/29/2022 Super convenient, love the automatic bibtex extraction, navigating to abstract page, tab title change, and github synchronization

Chris Emezue (ID: 000000e9b1ce113c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/28/2022 I really loved using PaperMemory! Works perfectly to my needs. I especially love that it automatically saves the papers (and also allows you to tag them) - very useful for a forgetful me. 100% Recommend!

Jim Fan (ID: 0000008558ed58b2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/04/2022 THANK YOU SO MUCH for this mind-blowingly amazing tool. I dreamed of such a plugin before, and can't believe it has become reality. The beautiful UI, clean export, and automatic conference venue linking ... that's all I ever wanted. I have no clue why Mendeley/Zotero/ReadCube cannot deliver such high-quality features with their bloated teams of engineers. I could've saved more productive hours for research had I discovered this earlier! Please keep up the great work! Thanks again for your great service to the community.
