  OverCite helps you add LaTeX citations in Overleaf without leaving the editor.
  
  Place your cursor inside a \cite{...} command, press Alt+Shift+E, review likely matches from NASA ADS/SciX, and insert the selected BibTeX entry directly into your project bibliography.
  
  OverCite works best when you already know the paper, author, or result you want to cite and want to keep writing instead of stopping to search, copy BibTeX, rename the citation key, and return to the manuscript.
  
  Features:
  • Search NASA ADS/SciX directly from Overleaf
  • Resolve rough citation keys such as \citep{Shariat25}, \citep{Abbott2016}, or \citep{Schlegel}
  • Use local sentence context when needed, with a simple author-year fallback
  • Insert or reuse BibTeX entries directly in your .bib file
  • Avoid duplicate bibliography entries when a paper is already present
  • Deterministic workflow with no LLM required
  
  OverCite is especially useful for ADS/SciX-covered literature, including astronomy, physics, Earth science, general-science collections, and all arXiv e-prints.
