Leveraging the power of Google Scholar, this small add-on for Firefox places an extra link in each search result, directing you to copyright permissions through copyright.com.

When installed, the extension appears as a Copyright.com Search link below each of your search results. Select the link and access permission information specific to the item you’d like to use and share.

How it works

The extension consists of a simple set of conditions, supporting four types of Google Scholar search results: a normal result, a book, citation, and U.S. Patent. It only places a link to copyright.com in the first three cases.
