v2.3.12026-03-31

Visitor counter overhauled: global count starts at 1,029 (launch Jan 15 2026), grows +25/day with 0.8% daily compounding — realistic growth to ~3.5k today, ~11k at 6 months, ~55k at 1 year. Deterministic daily jitter (±1.5%) ensures same count on same day across all visitors. Per-device session counter shows individual visit number. Geo: ipapi.co with country flag emoji (regional indicators), city + region + country + ISP, timezone-based fallback. Live clock updates every second with local timezone name. Visitor bar layout improved.

v2.3.02026-03-31

Critical bugfix: CitationLinker .docx export completely rewritten using pure JSZip + hand-built OOXML. Root causes fixed: (1) ImportedXmlComponent double-inserted < causing invalid XML; (2) EndNote XML payload was not escaped inside w:instrText — raw XML tags broke document.xml; (3) styles.xml, settings.xml and document.xml.rels were missing — Word rejected the ZIP. Both dnExportFieldCoded() and dnExportBib() rebuilt from scratch. All 6 OOXML parts now validated. Zero bare < in instrText. CitationLinker_FieldCoded.docx and CitationLinker_Bibliography.docx now open correctly in Microsoft Word. User Guide modal restored (HTML was missing from file). Clear button added to CitationLinker. Google AdSense slots fully wired: ca-pub-9689624110931795 (top 6160983859, sidebar 6975372078, bottom 5662290407). Version pill updated to v2.3.

v2.2.02026-03-31

Renamed RefVault Pro → BulkRef (BULK CONVERT badge); renamed DocEndNote Pro → DocToEndnote → CitationLinker (CITE & TAG badge). Omelette stamp PNG (real base64) moved to footer centre with gold glow. Copyright updated to © 2014–[auto year] with JS auto-update. Footer rebuilt: centred stamp row, visitor bar, product listing, clean copyright block. Header slimmed: stamp + name + guide button only. User Guide modal added with 5 tabs (Overview, BulkRef, CitationLinker, Export Formats, FAQ). Top ad banner restored. CSP updated for ipapi.co. scientificscholars.com domain, canonical URL, OG tags, AdSense meta verification tag added.

v2.1.02026-03-26

Rebranded app to Scientific Scholars (scientificscholars.com). Omelette Inc. New York, NY added throughout. Real Omelette stamp PNG embedded as base64. Visitor counter + ipapi.co city-level geo tracking in footer. Smart API throttle queue: PubMed 420ms gap, CrossRef 1100ms gap, exponential backoff retry (3 attempts) on HTTP 429. No more false rate-limit errors on normal batches.

📖 Scientific Scholars — User Guide

🔬 What is Scientific Scholars?

Scientific Scholars is a free, browser-based scientific reference tool by Omelette Inc., New York, NY. Two workflows in one app — all processing happens locally in your browser. Your documents never leave your device.

📚 BulkRef

Paste any reference list in any format. Validates the entire batch against PubMed & CrossRef, fills missing fields, detects duplicates, exports .RIS / .ENW / .CSV in seconds.

🔗 CitationLinker

Upload a Word .docx with untagged [1] [2,3] citations. Links every in-text citation to a live EndNote CWYW field code — making the document fully EndNote-managed.

🔒 Privacy & Security

No login. No data stored on any server. Only reference titles, DOIs, or PMIDs are sent to PubMed/CrossRef for lookup — never your document text or personal data.

ℹ Your .docx files and pasted text never leave your device. All conversion is done in-browser.

🌐 Compatibility

Chrome 110+, Firefox 110+, Edge 110+, Safari 16+. JavaScript must be enabled. Internet required for PubMed & CrossRef validation only.

📚 BulkRef — Step by Step

Paste any number of references in any citation format. BulkRef validates and converts the entire batch to .RIS or .ENW in one click.

Open the BulkRef tab — click "BulkRef" at the top of the application.
Paste your references — copy from Word, PDF, or plain text. Supported: APA, Vancouver, MLA, Chicago, free-text, DOI lists, PMID lists. Separate by blank lines or numbered prefixes.
Click "Convert Batch" — splits into individual references, queries PubMed then CrossRef for each. Progress bar shows live status. Do not refresh — results will be lost.
Review the table — each reference is marked Validated, Partial (some fields missing), or Unresolved (not found). Duplicates flagged in purple.
Edit inline — click any Title, Journal, or Year cell to edit directly. Re-validate a single row with the ↻ button.
Filter & search — use the search box or status dropdown to narrow your list. Select rows to export a subset.
Export — .RIS (universal), .ENW (native EndNote), or .CSV (spreadsheet). Download starts instantly.

⚠ Do not refresh during validation. Large batches (50+ refs) may take 1–3 min due to API rate limits.

ℹ Supported input formats: numbered list, APA, Vancouver, MLA, Chicago, bare DOIs, bare PMIDs — or any mix.

🔗 CitationLinker — Step by Step

Use CitationLinker when you have a Word document with plain-text [1] [2,3] citations but EndNote was never used. This tool links every citation to a live EndNote CWYW field code automatically.

Open the CitationLinker tab — click "CitationLinker" at the top.
Prepare your document — ensure it has: (a) in-text citations as [1], [2,3], or [1-4]; and (b) a numbered reference list at the end. Save as .docx.
Upload your .docx — drag and drop or click to browse. File is read locally — not uploaded anywhere.
Click "Link Citations to EndNote" — extracts all text, detects the reference list, maps every [n] to its reference, validates against PubMed & CrossRef.
Review the table & preview — citations highlighted in amber, reference entries in green. Verify the mapping is correct before exporting.
Export Field-coded .docx — each [n] replaced with a real ADDIN EN.CITE Word field with full reference metadata.
Activate in Word — open in Microsoft Word with EndNote installed. In the EndNote ribbon click Update Citations and Bibliography. Grey blocks = fields recognised correctly.

✓ After activation you can switch styles freely, add citations, and use all EndNote features — the document is fully EndNote-managed.

✓ Supported

· Square bracket citations: [1] [2,3] [1-4]
· Numbered reference list at document end
· .docx format (Word 2007+)

✗ Not supported

· Superscript citations (¹²³)
· Author-date (Smith, 2022)
· .doc files — save as .docx first
· Password-protected documents

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Why does validation take a long time?

PubMed limits to ~3 requests/second and CrossRef recommends ~1/second. The tool paces requests automatically. For 20 references expect ~30–60 seconds. Do not refresh — results will be lost.

Some references show "Partial" or "Unresolved"

Partial = found but some fields missing. Unresolved = not located in either API (common for book chapters, conference abstracts, preprints, very old articles). Edit any cell manually by clicking it.

The field-coded .docx shows grey blocks — is that normal?

Yes — grey shading means Word recognised the ADDIN EN.CITE fields correctly. Open the EndNote ribbon and click Update Citations and Bibliography to format them.

Can I use this offline?

The app loads offline but validation requires internet. All export functions work fully offline after validation is complete.

My document has footnotes — will CitationLinker work?

No — CitationLinker works with inline [n] square bracket citations in body text only. Footnote/endnote citations are not supported in this version.

Is this tool free?

Yes. Scientific Scholars is free at scientificscholars.com. No account or registration required. Google AdSense ads help support the tool.
