IEEE Xplore Unlocker

A browser extension to get locked content from ieee xplore using sci-hub.

Get IEEE Xplorer for Firefox

IEEE Xplore Unlocker uses the doi from the Xplore page to insert a button with a link to the corresponding sci-hub page.

Manual Installation

Chromium

  • Download and unzip ieee-xplore-unlocker.zip (latest release desirable).
  • Rename the unzipped directory to ieee-xplore-unlocker
    • When you later update manually, replace the content of the ieee-xplore-unlocker folder with the content of the latest zipped version.
    • This will ensure that all the extension settings will be preserved
    • As long as the extension loads from same folder path from which it was originally installed, all your settings will be preserved.
  • Go to chromium/chrome Extensions.
  • Click to check Developer mode.
  • Click Load unpacked extension....
  • In the file selector dialog:
    • Select the directory ieee-xplore-unlocker which was created above.
    • Click Open.

The extension will now be available in your chromium/chromium-based browser. Remember that you have to update manually also.
