A web extension is an application that can be installed in your browser with just a few clicks. It is added to the list of your browser extensions and a shortcut to it can be added to your personal bar.
The Click & Read extension was developed for use with Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari (from OS 14).
It can also be installed on Chromium-based browsers such as Brave or Edge (from version 2021).
It functions transparently when you are browsing the Internet and does not have a search interface.
The Click & Read extension replaces and unifies the 3 existing extensions of the platforms managed by the Inist-CNRS Istex, Panist and BibCnrs, plus the free Unpaywall extension.
Since v2.0, the Click & Read extension has also integrated the documentary resources of the Inserm and the Claude Bernard Lyon 1, Orléans, Rennes 1, Limoges, Montpellier, universities the CEA, the B2RM and the Institut Pasteur.

Click & Read has been developed by Inist-CNRS for CNRSresearch communities and is aimed primarily at research staff in CNRS units.
However it can be used by all researchers under the supervisory authority of the MESRI, subject to access rights:
The Click & Read extension integrates the free Unpaywall which it requests by default. If there is no response from Unpaywall, the virtuous platforms Istex and Panist that provide alternative access to publishers' sites and finally, if these do not respond it searches on the parameterised document collections.
Since v2.0, it has been possible to add, delete and choose the order of the document sources queried (e.g. between a free or a publisher's version of the document).

The Click & Read extension does not store any personal data. The following information is collected when using Click & Read - the chosen source, the URL and DOI of the document visited, the reference of the institution and the BibCnrs domain indicated by the user as well as the time stamp. This information is collected solely for usage metrics.
The Click & Read extension includes the functionality of the Istex and Panist extensions so you must uninstall these.
