Extension Usage Instructions

                        Research is already pretty hard. Let's make reading papers a little less so. This chrome extension allows you to hover over references to get a quick look at the title, authors, abstract, and arXiv link of the cited work, so that you don't have to scroll back and forth between the text and bibliography.

We are able to process citations of the default form [author][year][title], if unambiguous and on arXiv.
