Academic Reading Log

Quickly log academic papers with one click. Never lose track of what you’ve read or where you read it.

● Do you forget where you read something important that you want to cite or reread?

● Do you keep a manually updated spreadsheet of papers with notes and project tags?

● Do you want to build a habit of reading the literature and taking useful notes?

● Are you a graduate student, postdoc, or researcher?

Then Academic Reading Log is for you.

How It Works

  1. Open an academic article webpage
  2. Click the extension
  3. Article metadata is extracted
  4. Add notes or reading status
  5. Click save - your notes and article information are saved to a Google Sheet

Each paper becomes a structured row you can revisit anytime.

What It Captures

Automatically extracts: Title, authors, journal/source, year, DOI, URL

You can add: Reading status (read / skimmed / want to read) Personal notes Importance flag

Built for Researchers

Designed for graduate students, PhDs, and researchers who want:

● A simple way to track what they’ve read

● Notes that stay connected to each paper

● A system that scales across projects and years

Everything stays editable, searchable, and yours. Your reading log stays entirely in your Google account.
