Overview

1. Access millions of research papers, free 2. Make expensive paywalls a thing of the past 3. One click. No sign-up. No hassle. 4. Click the Panda, get the PDF 5. Built for students, researchers & academics 🐼 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. Questions or feedback?
