BibTeX and Google Scholar

at 25 January 2008

Preference settings on different websites should be checked regularly. As an example, Google adds functionality to their sites continuously, and you can easily miss the improvement. I found out yesterday that Google Scholar has a time-saving option for LaTeX-users. The references can be exported in BibTeX format. Of course, maybe I am the last to know, but I will describe the procedure anyhow.



To add the link to the BibTeX-code, you simple vist the Google Scholar page. Next to the Search button there is link to Scholar Preferences. If you click that link you can see the list of options. At the bottom, you find the option Show links to import citations into. Just select it and you have added the functionality to Google Scholar. Of course, you can also select other export formats, such as Endnote or Refman.



Another option is the Library Links option. Currently, I have a link to bibliotek.dk, but it seems that it should be possible to add our local library. Does anybody know how to do it?
