Scholarcy flashcards

An alternative to our popular Chrome and Edge Extension for users of  Safari or Firefox! Drag the Flashcard button below to your browser bookmarks bar.

When you have an open-access article open in your browser, click the Flashcard bookmarklet to distil the article into its key sections and summary in a new tab.

Alternatively, you can try out the web version here.

If you are technically minded, you can customise the bookmarklet to extract images by adding the following parameter:

&images=true

Article highlights and summaries

Drag the Article Highlights and Summary buttons below to your browser bookmarks bar.

As with the Flashcard bookmarklet, when you have an open-access article open in your browser, click the Article Highlights bookmarklet and the key points will be displayed in a new tab.

Or click the Summary bookmarklet to get a longer, bullet point summary.

Quick findings

Just need to see the main findings from the article? Drag this bookmarklet to your browser bookmarks bar, then click on it when you have an article open in your browser, and the main findings will be displayed in a new tab.

Browser extensions

Click the button below to install the Scholarcy browser extensions for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, which will generate a summary flashcard card from the current web article or PDF in the browser window.
