Reviews of core discovery:
does not function as stated
This is great when it works, but could do with more documentation. Specifically, when it finds free and I assume legit copies of paywalled articles, they are produced without fuss or delay. That happens, I'd say, about 60% of the time but more research is needed. What is frustrating is that it will sometimes say "related papers have been found", but nothing whatever happens when you click on that message. Of course related papers have been found This is the academic web. Everything is related. The least the extension could do would be to offer a list of the related papers it has found in that case.
