LibKey Nomad - Browser extension for downloading full text

The Nomad LibKey browser extension is a free add-on that allows access to Bar-Ilan’s subscribed full text articles – which can also be used outside of the Libraries and Information Division of Bar-Ilan library website.

Two prominent advantages:

  • Retraction Watch - displays information about retracted articles from journals and details the ethical reasons that caused the article to be retracted.
     
  • Third Iron Problematic Publishers (TIPP) – When searching for articles in Primo and EDS, a warning label will appear next to articles published in journals associated with publishers classified as problematic. The warning will be displayed as: "Problematic Journal per TIPP". 
    Installing the LibKey Nomad browser extension enables similar alerts while browsing publisher websites, PubMed, ResearchGate, and other platforms. The extension will display a warning when a journal or online domain is associated with an entity classified as problematic (Problematic Domain).
     
  • Built-in integration with AI tools – Search results will display direct access to the full text when it is available through the Library and Information Division's collections. To enable this feature, users must register using their Bar-Ilan University organizational email address as part of the sign-up process.
    Currently, the service works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot, as well as the research tools Consensus and SciSpace. Support for additional tools, such as Elicit, will be added in the future.
