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

Place your cursor inside a \cite{...} command, press Alt+Shift+E, review likely matches from NASA ADS/SciX, and insert the selected BibTeX entry directly into your project bibliography.

Getting started:
1. Install OverCite, then look up "about:addons" in Firefox, find OverCite, and open Preferences.
2. Paste your NASA ADS or SciX API token* and click Save Settings.
3. That's it! Open an Overleaf project, place the cursor inside a \cite{...} command, and press Alt+Shift+E to get started.
* sign in to NASA ADS or SciX, Settings -> API Token
