Description from store
This browser extension automatically analyzes and visually highlights your research papers on Google Scholar profile pages based on your authorship position. It intelligently identifies and color-codes papers where you are:
- First author - Your primary research contributions
- Second author - Your significant collaborative work
- Co-first author - Joint primary authorship (identified by symbols like , †, ‡, §, *)
- Last author - Your senior/corresponding author papers

- (2025-07-06) Zero A: Hi This is a very useful extension! There are two possible improvements: (1) For the co-first paper, add an option to just count the first author of the co-first paper, instead of counting all co-first paper. (I believe this also makes sense to many others) (2) For the single-authored paper, it is displayed as first-authored paper AND last-authored paper. It would be visually better to just show as the first-authored.

- (2025-06-11) Fred: Very nice work! However, the tool sometimes fails to identify the author. For example, it sometimes fails to recognize John A. Doe, J. A. Doe, JA Doe, and J. Doe as the same author. In addition, when the list of authors is too long, it may fail to identify the last author. Hope those can be improved.

- (2025-05-31) HY L: very cool and solid plugin.
- (2024-10-10) Esther Zhao: This plugin is so cool!! It really helps make the page clear and the important works stand out. Would be a nice tool for recruiters.
