EndNote Online - Savitt

Google Scholar

Items from Google Scholar must be transferred one citation at a time.  Google Scholar citations are often messy, requiring manual clean-up and addition of missing fields. (Sometimes it’s just easier to locate the item within the library’s databases and import the reference from there.)

  1. Go to the Google Scholar home page at https://scholar.google.com/
  2. Click on the menu button (represented by three horizontal lines in the upper left corner) and choose Settings.
