5 years later, it turns out GPT-5 can just write this extension entirely!
Right-click an arXiv abstract page (e.g., https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.00812) or an OpenReview forum page (e.g., https://openreview.net/forum?id=mxMvWwyBWe) and choose “Copy Markdown citation”.
This copies Markdown like:
Crafting Interpretable Embeddings for Language Neuroscience by Asking LLMs Questions ([benara...gao, 2024](https://openreview.net/forum?id=mxMvWwyBWe))
or
Generative causal testing to bridge data-driven models and scientific theories in language neuroscience ([antonello...huth, 2025](https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.00812))
- Author last names only, all lowercase.
- If there are > 4 authors, shorten to
first...last. - Otherwise, join as
a, b, c & d. - Extracts year from page meta or visible “Published:” text (OpenReview) / submission history (arXiv).
- Applies common abbreviations in titles (case-insensitive):
- Large Language Models → LLMs
- Language Model(s) → LM/LMs
- Reinforcement Learning → RL
- Natural Language Processing → NLP
- Machine Learning → ML
- Artificial Intelligence → AI
- Graph/Convolutional Neural Network(s) → GNN/CNN
- Foundation Model(s) → FM/FMs
- Diffusion Model(s) → DM/DMs
- Computer Vision → CV
You can customize abbreviations inside background.js (abbreviateTitle()), and tune the OpenReview selectors in extractAuthorsOpenReview() if their DOM changes.
- Unzip this folder.
- Go to
chrome://extensions/and enable Developer mode. - Click Load unpacked and select the unzipped folder.
- Open an arXiv or OpenReview page, right-click, and click Copy Markdown citation.
- Paste into your notes.
Prompt used to create this:
Create a fully downloadable chrome extension. Given an arXiv page (e.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.00812), the extension should give an option to right-click the page and copy-paste the title and authors in markdown format. Specifically, it should copy the title, followed by a citation of the author last names and year, with the author names linking back to the page.
- author last names should be lowercase
- if there are greater than 4 authors, then the last names should give the first author, followed by "..." then the final last name.
- abbreviate very common terms, for example "Large language models" to "LLMs"
