There are multiple ways to export a batch of results from Google Scholar. The optimal method for you to use will depend on how many results you want to export, where you want to export your results, and whether you have (or are willing to create) a Google account.

Method 1

1. On the Google Scholar search page, click on the SIGN IN link in the upper right-hand corner.
2. Sign in to your existing Google account or click on Create account to create a new account.
3. Once you've signed in to Google Scholar, run your search. (You may want to see our Tips for Searching Google Scholar via UMGC.)
4. On the search results page, click on the icon of three horizontal lines in the upper left-hand corner and then select Settings and change the number of results displayed per page to 20 from the default selection of 10. (This step is optional but will make your results easier to work with.)
5. Back on the search results page, click on the Save link below each document that you want to export. The star next to Save will turn blue when you've saved a document.
   • You can save your documents to a list that you name in order to keep them organized.
6. Once you've selected all of the documents that you want to export, click on My library in the upper right-hand corner of the page.
7. All documents in your library will be shown by default. To see just the documents that you saved to a list, click on the list's name on the left-hand side of the page.
8. Click on the Export all link toward the top of the page and select a format for your results: BibTeX, EndNote, RefMan, or CSV. Note that the RefMan option creates a .ris file.
9. Your results will then be made available in the format that you selected.

Method 2

If you want to export your results to an exiting Zotero account and you have downloaded the Zotero connector for the browser that you are using for your Google Scholar search as well as the desktop app, Zotero should be able to automatically capture all of the Google Scholar search results on a given search results page and allow you to export them to Zotero.

1. Run your search in Google Scholar. (You may want to see our Tips for Searching Google Scholar via UMGC.)
2. On the search results page, click on the icon of three horizontal lines in the upper left-hand corner and then select Settings and change the number of results displayed per page to 20 from the default selection of 10. (This step is optional but will make your results easier to work with.)
3. Back on the search results page, click on the Zotero Connector folder icon on the right-hand side of your browser's address bar. You may need to click on Extensions to see the folder.
4. You should then be prompted to select which items you want to add to your Zotero library; you can select any or all items. See Adding Items to Zotero: Multiple Results for more information.
