Lazy Scholar Chrome plugin for searching for papers

Colby Vorland coded this Chrome plugin called Lazy Scholar to make it easier to find full text versions of papers. It basically cross references a bunch of databases for you, to find information on a particular paper you’re looking for. For example, in addition to trying to find a PDF for you, it also gives you the Google scholar citation count, Web of Science, and lets you know how many PubPeer comments there are on it.

It’s still a work in progress (and the website still has placeholder text and links), and it might not immediately win any awards for graphic design, but it gets the job done and can be a handy tool.
