endnote online is not downloading form google scholar

* The systematic searching paper mentioned about can be found in PDF format and Word format, with the latter incorporating a couple of corrections as detailed at the end of this post. While holding my breath and waiting for that, I wonder if anyone out there has found a clever way around this problem? Perhaps a search from Endnote GS citations to an external database such as PubMed to grab the abstracts in some fiendishly clever way? The easiest solution would be for Google to make the My library list bulk exportable. But this issue is one of those not-so-large-but-there-must-be-a-better-way ones so I’m hoping someone can suggest a workaround. Actually it is more a request to see if anyone else has found a fix – sorry about leading you on like that. The subject line of this post implied a solution to the multiple GS export problem. And while you can search the Publish or Perish program in various ways (author, journal, all words etc), it just doesn’t match the way you search GS which is generally a mixture of keyword and cited by searching so you cannot easily replicate a set of results. Abstracts – not totally surprising as GS doesn’t provide them – aren’t included. You can indeed export multiple GS (and Microsoft Academic Search) results but – alas, alack, alay – it is not the solution to problems 1 and 2 above. Publish or Perish, ” designed to help individual academics to present their case for research impact to its best advantage”, is a small bibliometrics program (approx 1 MB) that can be installed without admin privileges.

Then I read an interesting pager by Bramer and de Jonge – Improving efficiency and confidence in systematic literature searching* – which mentioned that Harzing’s Publish or Perish can be used to download 1000 references from GS into reference managers such as Endnote.Ĭould this speed up my click by click populating of Endnote libraries with GS citations (and maybe throw abstracts in as well for good measure)? GS, after a little fiddling about, does allow you to save citations to a list (My library) but citations in this list can still only be exported one at a time so this produces no benefit at all.

You can only export a single record at a time.

Using the settings, you can set up an export to BibTex, Endnote, RefMan and RefWorks.

One area where GS is less useful is exporting records to reference management software.

Google Scholar (GS) is a very useful addition to the searchers arsenal following a “cited by” trail nicely complements results retrieved by keyword/subject heading searches in databases such as Embase and Medline.
