Now that Google Scholar is no longer in Beta, and as Google standardises on the black navigation bar for all of its applications, the method for configuring Scholar to export citations to RefWorks has changed, ever so slightly.
The difference between exporting from Google Scholar and most academic/library databases is that unfortunately you can only export one result from Google at a time. It’s also worth checking carefully the details of the citation as it’s imported into RefWorks – Google Scholar gets results from all sorts of “scholarly” websites, some of which seem to provide only partial information for each citation. Garbage in, garbage out.
Any problems, please email RefWorks@lincoln.ac.uk
Here’s how you can set up Scholar to export citations to your RefWorks account:
- Go to Google Scholar at http://scholar.google.com/
- Click on the ‘cog’ icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen.
- Then select ‘Scholar Preferences’ (alternatively, go straight to http://scholar.google.com/scholar_preferences).
- Scroll down the ‘Preferences’ page until you get to the ‘Bibliography Manager’ option at the bottom of the page. Select the option marked ‘Show links to import citation into’, and choose ‘RefWorks’ from the drop-down menu. Then hit ‘Save Preferences’.
- Now, when you perform a search on Google Scholar, you will see that each one of the search results has a link below it marked ‘Import into RefWorks’. If you click on one of those links it will export that citation into your RefWorks account.
N.B. If you’re not already logged in to your RefWorks account, you’ll probably see a ‘RefWorks login center’ screen at this point. Here’s how to log in to RefWorks from that screen.
