The Source Taster Extension

Features
📥 Context Menu Import: Load bibliographies directly via the context menu into the extension
🔍 Automatic Detection: Automatically detect and load DOIs from websites
📎 PDF Import: Import PDF files directly into the extension and validate their DOIs
📊 Report Generation: Generate a report indicating which DOIs exist, which are not in the Crossref database, and which do not exist
📄 Report Download: Download the generated report as a PDF
🌐 Open Literature: Open found literature directly in a new tab
🌙 Multiple Themes: Toggle between dark, light and system mode
🗣️ Multiple Languages: Supports both German and English languages
🖥️ Choose Display Mode: Choose between side panel and popup as a window

💡Tip
For the most reliable verification of sources, it is recommended to manually copy and paste DOIs into the extension. While the automatic import feature can quickly detect many DOIs, it does not guarantee that all DOIs will be correctly identified. Manually entering DOIs ensures that you have the most accurate results.

⚠️ Disclaimer
The Source Taster extension is a helpful tool for verifying the existence and validity of DOIs. While we strive to provide accurate results, the automated checks cannot guarantee complete accuracy. We recommend manually verifying all sources, especially for critical research. Do not solely rely on the results from this extension—conduct additional checks to ensure reliability.
