BibFetch

About

BibFetch fixes one of the most frustrating problems in academic workflows: Google Scholar's BibTeX export is broken. It omits DOIs, skips page numbers, and gets rate-limited when you need it most.

BibFetch replaces Scholar's export entirely — no clicking "Cite", no 403 errors, no missing fields.

HOW IT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━
- A "📋 BibTeX" button is injected directly on every Google Scholar search result
- Click it → complete BibTeX with DOI is copied to your clipboard instantly
- Also works on Scholar citation detail pages

MULTI-SOURCE LOOKUP
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
BibFetch queries three independent databases and merges the best data:
① Crossref — 150M+ papers, best for published journal articles
② OpenAlex — excellent for open-access papers and page numbers
③ Semantic Scholar — strong coverage of CS and biology


Missing fields (pages, volume, issue) are automatically filled from fallback sources.

ARXIV SUPPORT
━━━━━━━━━━━━
Preprints on arXiv are detected automatically. BibFetch assigns the correct DOI (10.48550/arXiv.XXXX.XXXXX) instantly — no API call needed.

COMPARE PANEL
━━━━━━━━━━━━
Click the BibFetch toolbar icon to open the popup:
- Paste any paper title → fetch from all 3 sources simultaneously
- See results side by side with match confidence scores
- Copy BibTeX from whichever source has the most complete data

PRIVACY
━━━━━━
BibFetch does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. All queries go directly to public academic APIs (Crossref, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar). No tracking, no analytics.

Perfect for researchers, PhD students, and anyone writing papers in LaTeX.
