Bib CNRS URL Transformer

The French CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) has created a web service for accessing scientific bibliographical documents for its associated researchers and laboratories (https://bib.cnrs.fr/).  It works by changing the URL of most editing companies which provide the scientific contents.

This plugin installs a button in the menu bar that allows automatic transformation of the URL of the currently active tab. Of course, this will only work if the user is granted access to the current visited website via bibCNRS. This avoids the need of going to the bibCNRS page and manually searching for the item visited before.

The plugin can be configured according to the CNRS Institute to which the user belongs.

CAVEAT: This plugin will only work for users (typically French university and CNRS researchers) who have an account at INIST (Institut de l’Information Scientifique et Technique / CNRS). The plugin will redirect the user to the INIST authentication web page.

Suggestions for improvements and contributions to the code should be done through the plugin's GitLab website (link below).
