Google Chrome Extensions that you should have and utilize as a college student: a thread
Cite This For Me: Web Citer. Cites webpages and most PDFs in any writing style. I would perish without this. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cite-this-for-me-web-cite/nnnmhgkokpalnmbeighfomegjfkklkle?hl=en">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...
MyBib: Free Citation Generator. Sometimes Cite This For Me doesnât pick up on certain details, like authors, or doesnât work. I use this one to double check my citations. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mybib-free-citation-gener/phidhnmbkbkbkbknhldmpmnacgicphkf?hl=en">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...
For citation help, consult PurdueOwl. Or use bibme .org.
Google Scholar Button. Itâs a direct link to the Google Scholar search page. Very convenient. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-scholar-button/ldipcbpaocekfooobnbcddclnhejkcpn?hl=en">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...
Google Translate. Copy & Paste/type anything here for a fast translation. It will also translate web pages for you. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-translate/aapbdbdomjkkjkaonfhkkikfgjllcleb?hl=en">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...
Grammarly for Chrome. Also available as an app. If youâre a student or a writer, you should have this! Itâs not a miracle worker, but it picks up on small mistakes you may overlook. Also on Google Docs. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/grammarly-for-chrome/kbfnbcaeplbcioakkpcpgfkobkghlhen?hl=en">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...
Grammar and Spell Checker - LanguageTool. Another extension that works on Google Docs. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/grammar-and-spell-checker/oldceeleldhonbafppcapldpdifcinji?hl=en">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...
Pro tip: if youâre a student, do yourself a favor and do everything on Google Docs/Sheets/Pages/Slides whatever. Then convert them to .docx or .ppt or .pdf. That way, whatever computer youâre on on campus, your stuff is there and you donât have to worry about losing it
Smart PDF - Files Converter Tool. For when you need to convert PDFs. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/smart-pdf-files-converter/benjmhnicaokfjhdoolkkjiiccceigdm?hl=en">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...
I also use DocHub when I need to sign PDFs. https://dochub.com/ ">https://dochub.com/">...
Weave Highlighter - PDF & Web. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. You can highlight PDFs and webpages and it saves what you highlighted! Makes research papers so much easier! https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/weava-highlighter-pdf-web/cbnaodkpfinfiipjblikofhlhlcickei?hl=en">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...
Iâve used these extensions for the past 3 years and I love them. They make life so much easier and school less stressful.
