PubPeer

This plugin adds links to existing PubPeer comments on journal websites and PubMed.
What is PubPeer?
"PubPeer" is an unobtrusive Firefox add-on that helps you stay connected with the academic community. It rings an alert when an article you are looking at has associated comments on PubPeer. This lightweight, easy-to-install plugin exists quietly in the background, only making itself known when there's a comment that could be of interest. The plugin is not affiliated with PubMed or any journals.
