If you're an academic and are not using the Sioyek PDF reader to read papers ... you should try it. It has the ability to jump to references (or other sections, or figures, etc.) and back - or display them as an overlay right where you are. Even if there are no explicit links in the PDF! Easily look up stuff on Google Scholar (or other search engines.)

It's a bit idiosyncratic and does have somewhat of a learning curve, but if you spend a lot of time reading papers, it's worth it.

@ricci

Nice touch to use some ViM-like commands, like 'gg' and 'shift+g'.

@ricci can it replace my zathura install that I keep forgetting to install the PDF plugin on or the emacs pdf-mode that is terminally broken?

@ricci I will be checking this out.

I’m a die-hard Zotero fan and I think Zotero covers a lot of what Sioyek does, just from looking at the about page. Plus, Zotero does excellent citation management. But I’ll try this and compare. Thanks for the rec Rob!
