Description
One-click sidebar to extract and copy Title, Journal, Volume, Issue, Abstract #, Year, Authors, URL, and Abstract from abstracts. QuickScan adds a clean, one-click side panel to abstract pages so you can instantly copy the exact fields you need—formatted consistently every time. It’s built for busy clinical and research teams who need to move fast and stay accurate. What it does: On supported abstract pages, QuickScan detects and displays these fields in a side panel: Title Journal Volume Issue Pages → shows the Abstract number (e.g., “Abstract 1313P”, “Abstract 11506”, “LBA23”) Year Authors (standardized): 1 author: Lastname F 2 authors: Lastname F and Lastname F 3+ authors: Lastname F, Lastname F, Lastname F, et al. URL Abstract → shown as “…” in the panel, but the copy button grabs the full abstract text Each row has a small clipboard icon that copies exactly what you see for that row (Authors copy the formatted version shown in the panel). The Abstract row’s button copies the full abstract text. A Refresh button updates the panel after you navigate to a new abstract or the page finishes loading. Who it’s for: Molecular pathologists, precision oncology teams, variant interpreters Clinical & translational researchers Anyone who routinely compiles abstract metadata for reports, databases, or evidence summaries Supported sites QuickScan is designed for common abstract sources, including: ASCO (ascopubs.org) ESMO / Annals of Oncology (annalsofoncology.org) ASH / Blood (ashpublications.org, bloodjournal.org) AACR journals (aacrjournals.org) JTO (jto.org) PubMed / PMC (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) Support is focused on abstract/article pages. If an abstract isn’t recognized on a particular page type, click Refresh or navigate to the publisher’s abstract view. How to use: Install the extension and open any abstract page on a supported site. Click the QuickScan toolbar icon to open the side panel. Click the clipboard next to any field to copy it. Click Refresh if you navigated to a new abstract or the page just finished loading. Accuracy & formatting details: Abstract number (“Pages” field): QuickScan converts the publisher’s page info into your preferred Abstract # format (e.g., “1313P”, “11506”, “LBA23”), including meeting-style alphanumeric codes. Authors: Displayed in standardized abbreviated format; the Authors copy button returns the exact formatted string shown in the panel (with “et al.” when applicable). Abstract: The panel shows “…” to stay compact, but the copy button includes the full abstract text. Privacy & data handling: Your data stays on your device. QuickScan runs entirely in your browser and writes only the last extracted result to local Chrome storage to render the panel. Optional metadata fill (DOI → Crossref): When a field is missing (e.g., Year), QuickScan can request public bibliographic JSON from api.crossref.org using the DOI string only. No page text, cookies, or identifiers are sent. This lookup can be fully disabled via a simple code toggle provided by the developer. No analytics, no tracking, no ads. Permissions (what and why): Host permissions (specific publisher domains): read-only access on supported abstract pages to extract fields. Storage: keeps the last extracted result locally so the side panel can render and refresh reliably. Side Panel: opens and displays the QuickScan panel next to the current page. We keep permissions as narrow as possible and do not request access to all sites. Troubleshooting Panel shows no data: ensure you’re on an abstract page (not a journal homepage). Click Refresh once, or reload the page and open the panel again. Copy buttons: each row’s button copies exactly the visible text; the Abstract button copies the full abstract text.
