“Advanced” vs “Lite” Mode

by | May 18, 2017 | Uncategorized | 8 comments

As of Lazy Scholar version 1.5 for Chrome, there is now an option to only show full text availability if you are not interested in the other metrics and links Lazy Scholar shows. You can currently toggle between each by right clicking the icon and hitting the “Toggle full infobar or only show full text results” or in Options (right click on the icon -> Options). Here are visual guides to each option:

Option 1: “Advanced”

The full infobar is shown when you visit a scholarly article. With this you will get full text availability, a quick citation link, citation metrics, related papers, and more. This is the currently the default setting.

Option 2: “Lite”

I recognize that not everyone cares to see or will use so much information, and you may just want to see full text options. So choose this option and you’ll only see the following appear, and minimize automatically after awhile. The end glows green if a free full text is available.

 

Please send me feedback on what future customization would be most helpful to your workflow.

    Hey Colby, great work with the extension! You’re a life-saver. I only just downloaded this and already recommended it to my friends. One quick question thought, does your programme save previous citations? If so, where can I access my citation history? Thanks!

      Hi Shar,

      Thanks! Currently it saves your paper history in citation form- right click on the icon next to the address bar and click “Search Paper History”. But I notice the natural language processing service that I was using has updated so it may not be working anymore. I’ll plan to fix this in an upcoming update.
