Google Scholar Button

Lookup scholarly articles as you browse the web.

The Google Scholar Button extension provides instant access to scholarly articles directly from your browser. By simply clicking the Scholar button, users can quickly locate full texts, either on the web or through their university library. It allows seamless transfer of search queries from any webpage to Google Scholar, displaying top results instantly with options to view comprehensive lists.

Additionally, the extension offers citation formatting in popular styles, enabling users to easily copy references into their work. Library links can be configured for optimal off-campus access, and users can customize settings to search specific collections such as US case law. This tool streamlines research workflows for students, academics, and professionals alike.
