🐼 PaperPanda helps you find and download research papers — in one click
You've probably hit this before: you find the exact paper you need, and it's locked behind a paywall. Maybe your library or university already has access. Maybe it's free through an open-access repository. Maybe the author uploaded a PDF somewhere. Finding out which — and where — usually means a dozen tabs and a lot of searching.
PaperPanda does that work for you.
Just click the panda icon while you're on a paper's page. PaperPanda automatically detects the paper (via its DOI) and searches for a downloadable copy — across open-access repositories, your university library's resolver, and more.
✓ One-click access to millions of research paper PDFs, across thousands of academic sites and journals
✓ No account or sign-up required to search
✓ Skip the paywalls, logins, and redirect chains
✓ Set your university library's domain in Settings so PaperPanda searches through your existing access first
✓ Save papers to your PaperPanda library so you can find them again later
✓ Works on PubMed, ScienceDirect, IEEE Xplore, and most academic publisher and journal sites
Perfect for students, researchers, and academics — or anyone who just wants to read the paper without the runaround.
Under the hood, PaperPanda reads the DOI from the page you're on and searches Open Access repositories for a copy. You can set your university library's domain in Settings so it searches there too, or point it at a different custom domain entirely.
