This article introduces Kopernio, a free browser plug-in that finds the best available full-text PDFs with one click. Kopernio is integrated with over 20,000 academic websites such as Web of Science, Google Scholar, PubMed, and publisher sites. The rise of electric journals has brought piracy issues to scholarly communication. Researchers struggle with the inconvenience of multiple logins and endless redirects when accessing full texts, which leads them to download paywalled full texts at Sci-Hub to avoid the effort. Kopernio addresses this situation and saves researchers valuable time in resolving research problems.
