Usage

Creates a Google Scholar search link. This template takes two unnamed input parameters:

  1. A string to search for. (Optional.)
  2. Link text to display on your wiki page. (Optional.)

Do not use in articles

Examples

Type this To get this What it produces, or searches for
{{google scholar}} Search: Google Scholar Create a link to an empty Google Scholar search form
{{google scholar|David Branby}} David Branby Search for scholarly articles by, or mentioning: David Branby
{{google scholar|Steven Chu}} Steven Chu Search for scholarly articles by, or containing: Steven Chu

Citation tools

{{Google scholar}} may be useful in conjunction with this citation tool:

For example, you could transclude the {{Google scholar}} template on a user subpage, to save a particular search, and repeat the search using Google Scholar enhanced with the Wikipedia citation assistant, from which you could generate pre-filled {{Cite journal}} template calls that you can then paste into articles as citations. (See WP:FOOT for more details.) In this method of use, {{Google scholar}} is a convenient method of managing and storing useful searches as you look for article references, and for communicating results to other users, for example on talk pages.
