OIF Highlighter

Highlights key phrases and links on HTML pages and PDFs. Accumulates and exports URLs.

This extension automates the documentation of data-sharing information encountered during online article screening. After the user clicks the extension’s toolbar icon, a content script is injected into the active page; the script (i) highlights canonical open-data cues (such as “Data Availability Statement,” “supplementary,” “associated data,” and “download”) together with any plain-text URLs in the document; (ii) parses every sentence, retaining only those that contain the words data and available plus at least one lower-case repository marker (“http,” “www,” “osf,” or “zenodo”); (iii) extracts each contiguous repository token from those sentences; and (iv) stores all results in the browser’s local storage. The information is then summarised in a pop-up window (see Fig. 1), where each URL is clickable, scrolling the underlying page to the link’s exact location. The same pop-up includes an Export button that appends the current page’s data to a cumulative CSV file: each row records the article title, page URL, all qualifying sentences (concatenated in one field and separated by tab characters), the extracted repository links (tab-separated), and any additional plain-text URLs detected.
