Aimed at one person's own workflow: cleaning duplicates, filling in missing summaries and keeping the add-ons compatible with Zotero 10.

Your review is public, under the name you give, and published with the directory's data under CC BY 4.0. Links are removed. We never store your IP address: a scrambled code made from it is kept for 30 days to catch fake reviews. Every review is checked before it's published; how fake ones are spotted isn't published, so it can't be gamed.
