About this extension
OverCite helps you add LaTeX citations in Overleaf without leaving the page.

Place your cursor inside a \cite{...} command, press Alt+Shift+E, review likely matches, and insert BibTeX directly into your project bibliography.

Choose your subject area in settings: astrophysics, physics, math, computer science, biology/medicine, chemistry, or general DOI lookup. OverCite supports ADS/SciX, arXiv, INSPIRE, Crossref, PubMed, and DataCite.

Getting started:
1. Install OverCite, then open Add-on Preferences.
2. Choose your subject area.
Astrophysics: add your NASA ADS/SciX API token.
(sign in to NASA ADS or SciX → Settings → API Token)
3. Open Overleaf, place the cursor inside a \cite{...} command, and press Alt+Shift+E. That's it!
