How to Install the Papers Browser Extension

Find papers as you normally would on Dimensions, PubMed, Google Scholar and journal websites, then add them to your Papers library using the browser extension. References can be added to any of the lists in your library, along with optional notes, and the extension will automatically import the associated PDF, if possible.
