## What it is
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
