Scholar PDF Reader helps you read through your ever growing pile of papers quickly and thoroughly. Starting today, it also lets you mark key passages or jot down thoughts and questions as you read.
Select the text you want to emphasize, and a popup will appear, allowing you to choose a highlight color or add a comment.
Highlights and comments are saved automatically to your personal Google Scholar Library. The cloud icon confirms your notes are saved online. Access them from any device when logged into your Google account.
Click the highlight icon in the toolbar to view all your highlights and comments in the PDF.
You can also view all your highlights and comments in your Scholar Library.
If you don’t yet have the Reader, you can install it from its Chrome web store page. In addition to highlights, Scholar PDF Reader has many other features to help with your paper reading – AI Outline for quick overview, one-click preview of cited articles, linked figure and table mentions, citing and related articles, and light/dark modes.
Happy reading!
