Is Citavi Picker safe?
Citavi Picker sends OAI publication identifiers to CORE when searching for downloadable PDFs.
When PDF import is enabled and other lookup methods fail for a reference, the extension calls CORE's search API with the reference's OAI identifier. The request includes a bundled CORE API key and can return a PDF download URL for the reference.
Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

Citavi by Lumivero - no other listings under this identity, 22 shared hostnames
What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 22 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Citavi Picker contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
