PubMed Browser Extension
A faster way to work inside PubMed before you ever export a citation
The LitSource extension turns PubMed into a higher-signal research workspace. Generate cleaner search strategies, inspect journal quality sooner, and send better leads into LitSource for evidence review.
Inside PubMed
Lives where researchers already search
From idea to export
Useful for short scans and full writing sessions
Scout + validate
Best when paired with LitSource verification
Browser companion
From PubMed page to validated evidence
Generate structured PubMed queries
Turn a rough question into a cleaner search expression without manually rebuilding Boolean logic and field tags every time.
Inspect JIF and quartile signals
Judge journal quality while you browse so you can decide faster which papers deserve a deeper read.
Export query paths and papers
Keep the useful query trail and paper shortlist so the next step in writing, review, or collaboration starts cleaner.
Video Demo
Watch the workflow once before deciding to install
If you are not sure whether the extension fits your workflow, a short 1 to 2 minute demo is usually the fastest way to evaluate it.
Recommended video flow: query generation, journal signal, and export.

When to use it
It is most useful when you are already in PubMed, but not yet in full evidence-review mode.
A lot of research work starts before formal evidence review. You test directions in PubMed, refine queries, and scan early results. This extension is built for that high-frequency, easily-frustrating part of the workflow.
When you are exploring a new topic
You have a rough question and want to quickly test a few query directions to see which keyword combinations are worth keeping.
When results are piling up too fast
You want to judge journal quality and decide what deserves a closer look without manually opening and checking everything.
When writing or presentation work comes next
You want to keep the useful query path and paper list first, then move into evidence review, citation export, and formal writing.
What pain it removes
It does not replace your whole research process. It speeds up the slow parts inside PubMed.
Most people do not get stuck because they cannot search. They get stuck because the small repeated tasks are inefficient: rewriting queries, checking journal quality elsewhere, and reorganizing results before export.

How it works
Move faster inside PubMed first, then bring stronger candidates back into LitSource
The extension is best for the front half of the workflow. LitSource is best for the deeper half. One helps you find direction faster, the other helps you verify and package the evidence.
1. Start in PubMed
Stay in the PubMed page you already know and refine your search logic without switching tools too early.
2. Triage results faster
Review journal signal and candidate quality while the question is still taking shape.
3. Escalate to LitSource
When you need evidence sentence review, source tracing, and citation export, move the stronger leads into LitSource.
How to use it
You can fit it into your current search workflow in three simple steps
You do not need to relearn your process. The extension sits on top of the early part of the PubMed workflow you already use.
Install it and open PubMed
Install from the Chrome Web Store and keep searching in PubMed the way you already do.
Refine queries and shortlist papers as you browse
Adjust query structure, check journal signal, and save stronger candidates while you are still in exploration mode.
Switch to LitSource when deeper work starts
Use LitSource once you are ready to validate claims, inspect evidence sentences, and export citations.
Try the workflow
If you often rewrite PubMed queries by hand, this extension is worth installing first
Use it for query shaping, early screening, and result organization inside PubMed. Move into LitSource when you need deeper evidence review and citation handling.
