Pubmed Impact Factor is a lightweight browser extension designed to enhance the PubMed reading experience by surfacing journal-level metrics directly within search results.

Instead of requiring separate lookups, Pubmed Impact Factor allows researchers to assess journals at a glance while staying inside PubMed. The tool follows a freemium-style distribution and targets academics, students, and professionals who prioritize efficiency and clarity when reviewing scientific literature.

Embedded metrics streamline literature review
