Internet research often leads to dozens of open tabs. And in the case of research papers, that means opening each tab, copying the link, and adding it to a reference document that you’ll insert at the end of a document later. But there's a better way.

Instead of keeping these in tabs, we're going to use a little bookmark hack to get a list of all the URLs in every tab you have open. After we save these tabs as bookmarks, we'll use a Chrome feature that allows us to copy the URLs of all bookmarks within a folder. 

Then all we have to do is paste them into a text editor for later use. Once we don't need them anymore, we can just delete the folder they were in and clear them from our bookmarks.
