A Zotero add-on that extracts and displays the references of the PDF you are reading in a floating panel. It supports multiple data sources (PDF parsing, Crossref, Semantic Scholar, arXiv, readpaper) and lets you copy, edit, translate, and link references back into your Zotero library.

Use cases

  • extract references from a pdf in zotero
  • show bibliography of the paper i am reading
  • add cited papers to my zotero library with one click
  • copy all references of a pdf to clipboard
  • look up references by DOI or arXiv ID
  • translate reference entries while reading papers

When to choose

  • you read academic PDFs in Zotero and want quick access to their cited works
  • you want to import cited papers into your library with bidirectional linking
  • you need multiple lookup sources like Crossref, Semantic Scholar, and arXiv

When to avoid

  • you do not use Zotero as your reference manager
  • you need full-text search across your library rather than per-PDF reference extraction
  • PDF parsing fails on your documents and API sources do not cover them
