Tool to provide easier access to research work
Update Feb 2026: Updated to working mirror links for SciHub and Anna's Archive.
Note: Since SciHub is banned is few countries now, use VPN or Tor to access the links.
A simple extension to help research work that does the following:
1. Using context menu (right-click):
1.1 Redirect to Scihub page of research paper
1.2 Redirect to Anna's Archive page of research paper
1.3 Search for the selected article on Google Scholar
1.4 Direct download article, if available on Scihub, with filename saved as title of article
1.5 Find meaning, noun and pos tag of a selected English word from dictionary
2. Using keyboard shortcut
3.1 Alt+Q - opens current window URL quickly in incognito mode and deletes that url record from the browser history. (P.S: The permission to manage browser history is for this purpose).

- Always worked perfectly (as long as papers were available on the respective sites). But since Anna's Archive lost their .org domain, their site is not available anymore! Can you please update the link? The currently working domains can be found on their wikipedia page. Maybe even include an option to edit the links to download from? If the domains change again, users could update the source link on their own.

- It was a very useful development but not working now. Actually, SciHub domain name is changed from time to time. There must be an option where I (user) could add the latest working SciHub domain name where the click would take us to. Moreover, Libgen can be added alongwith SciHub.
