An easy way to export citations from Google Scholar into RefWorks

Here’s a way to export results from the Google Scholar search engine, into your RefWorks account:

• You can access Google Scholar from the main Google home page (www.google.com) by going to the top of the Google screen and clicking on ‘more’, then selecting ‘Scholar’, which is the third option down.
• Then, to the right of the Google Scholar search box, click on the link to ‘Scholar Preferences’.
• Scroll to the bottom of the ‘Preferences’ screen, where from the ‘Bibliography Manager’ option you can choose to ‘Show links to import citations into RefWorks’.
• Then click on ‘Save Preferences’.
• Now, when you perform a search on Google Scholar, you will be able to see that each one of the search results has a link next to it marked ‘Import into RefWorks’.
• If you click on one of those links it will export that citation into your RefWorks account.
• The difference between this and some of the other database export options is that, unfortunately, with Google Scholar you can only export one result at a time.
