Google Scholar Blog (2024-11-04). AI Outlines in Scholar PDF Reader: Skim the Bullets, Deep Read What You Need.

Google Scholar has introduced AI outlines in its PDF Reader to help users read papers more efficiently. These outlines provide an extended table of contents with bullet points for each key section. Users can skim the outline for a quick overview or click on specific bullets to dive deeper into topics of interest.

AI outlines are currently available for selected English papers and can be accessed by clicking PDF links in Google Scholar. The Scholar PDF Reader can be updated or installed from the Chrome web store for additional features that enhance reading speed and organisation.
