PAIN WITH GOOGLE SCHOLAR - AN ALTERNATIVE #310

Open Douglas-Taylor opened 3 years ago

If, like me, you get accused by Google Scholar of being a robot after trying to find BibTeX for about 5 articles, you might try using Microsoft Academic (https://academic.microsoft.com/home). While it requires you to search for each article individually and then download the BibTeX (three choices of format) which you can copy and paste into that big green BibTex box, it certainly beats having to wait up to three days for "blessed" Google Scholar to allow you to search again.

You can also get the bibtex from Scopus or Scholar in a separate Chrome window and copy it in. The bibtex produced by Scopus is often more comprehensive. The robot problem is less of an issue if you use a Chrome window rather than using the sniffer.

Another approach is using a desktop VPN e.g. Tunnelbear, and switching countries when you hit the limit. This sometimes works for ages, sometimes only works one or two times, but at least you benefit from the speed of the gScholar searches before it goes down, then you can fall back to manual.
