Search Google Scholar or PubMed from Chrome Address Bar (Omnibox); PowerPoint citation

by | Mar 10, 2014 | Features | 0 comments

I added a new feature in Lazy Scholar 0.8.4.0: super fast Google Scholar and PubMed searching from the Chrome address bar (aka omnibox). Simply type “LS” followed by a space and then your query to search Google Scholar and have it open the results in a new tab. To search PubMed, type “ls” followed by a space, then “pm” followed by a space, then your query. The URL of the tab that you are searching from is preserved. I recorded it in action in the video below.

 

 

Last week I also added a short PowerPoint citation format that is saved to the clipboard if you click on the “PWP” text in the button: Author et al. (year) journal issue:page. Saves some time when formatting slides for presentations.
