Maybe you’ve already noticed: the opportunity to import references from Google Scholar to RefWorks has disappeared mysteriously. There should be a link next to each article, but it isn’t there anymore, although you still can select this option in the Scholar Preferences. The world-wide RefWorks community has asked Google Scholar what has happened, but we are still waiting for their answer.
In the meantime: you can use the BibTex, EndNote or Reference Manager option. I’ve tested it and the imported information is the same. Click on the link under the article and save the file (.bib, . enw. or .ris). You can import this file into your RefWorks-account, but make sure you select the correct Import Filter:
| File | Import Filter | Database |
| BibTex (.bib) | BibTex | Bibdesk |
| EndNote (.enw) | EndNote View | EndNote View |
| Reference Manager (.ris) | RIS Format | Reference Manager |
When you have a list of articles this is time-consuming. You can make one big file by opening the small files with NotePad and copy past the information into one file. You can upload this big file and import all titles at once.
