The ReadCube browser extension allows you to seamlessly import articles to your library directly from your web browser. Find papers as you normally would on Dimensions, PubMed, Google Scholar and journal websites, then add them to your ReadCube library using the browser extension. References can be added to any of the lists in your library, along with optional notes, and the extension will automatically import the associated PDF, if possible.
