How to Save Papers with the Browser Extension?

Last updated: 2026-06-15·2 min read
Install the Nubint Web Importer browser extension and, on a paper page from Nature, PubMed, arXiv, and more, click the extension icon to auto-detect the title, authors, and DOI, then save it to your library or a collection in one click. Saving to your library does not consume any credits.

How do I save papers with the browser extension?

On a paper page, click the extension icon — the reference details are detected automatically. Choose a collection and press the Add button to add it to your library.

  1. Open the paper page you want to save (a journal article, abstract page, etc.).
  2. Click the Nubint Web Importer icon in your browser toolbar.
  3. Review the auto-detected title, authors, journal, and DOI.
  4. Choose where to save it — My Library or an existing collection.
  5. Click Add to save it to your library. Papers already saved show as "In library".

How do I install the extension?

Search for Nubint Web Importer in the Chrome Web Store and install it. The same extension also works on Microsoft Edge.

After installing, click the extension icon and sign in with your Nubint account — your existing library and collections sync automatically.

Which sites does it work on?

It works on most paper pages that expose standard citation metadata. Common examples include Nature, PubMed, arXiv, ScienceDirect, and Springer.

If a reference isn't detected, you'll see "No reference detected". In that case, try again on the abstract or detail page (a DOI, arXiv, or PubMed link).

Does saving consume credits?

No. Saving to your library with the browser extension does not consume any credits. It only fetches and stores the reference details — no AI analysis or summarization is performed.

Saved papers can be organized into collections and filtered from the library panel on the left of your workspace.
