About Zovo PaperFetch - Academic PDF Finder
Zovo PaperFetch finds a free, legally posted full-text copy of the research paper you are reading, in one click, and keeps a tidy citation library for you.
When you land on a paper behind a paywall, PaperFetch checks trusted open-access sources and points you to a version you are allowed to read, without piracy and without guesswork.
What you get
- One-click lookup that searches Unpaywall, OpenAlex, Crossref and arXiv for an open, legal full text.
- A clear result that opens the free PDF when one exists, or tells you honestly when none is available.
- A private citation library that saves the papers you find, with title, authors, year and DOI.
- Export to BibTeX and plain citation formats so you can drop references straight into your work.
- Works on journal pages, Google Scholar results, publisher sites and preprint servers.
How it works
Open a paper, click the PaperFetch icon, and it reads the article identifier on the page and queries open-access indexes for a permitted copy. If it finds one, it opens it and offers to save it to your library. Nothing is downloaded without your action.
Privacy first
PaperFetch only reads the page when you invoke it, and it talks only to public academic APIs to resolve a paper. It does not create an account, does not track your browsing, and keeps your library on your device.
Free to use, with an optional Pro upgrade for unlimited library size, folders and bulk export. Casual lookups stay free.
Stop hitting paywalls. Install Zovo PaperFetch and get to the full text and the citation in seconds.
