Downloads a .xpi file (0.04 MB). In Zotero, open Tools → Plugins and install it from the file.
In useAn estimate of how many copies of Zotero have it: Zotero downloads each new version once for every copy that has the plugin, so we count the downloads of its most-downloaded recent release. Rounded. Plugins that update from outside GitHub count low.
71

What it does

Written by AI from the README

Browses Hugging Face Daily Papers by date and imports chosen ones as preprint items with arXiv metadata and optional PDFs. Tags them from AI keywords and upvotes, and files them into date and topic collections. Can sync recent papers at startup.

Following the daily paper feed means copying entries into Zotero by hand. This imports, de-duplicates and sorts them for you. Documented mainly in Chinese.

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.
