Google Scholar and import into BibTeX

As many of us already know, Google has special search engine for search of scientific publications - Google Scholar. As a specialised version of Google search engine, Scholar provides many useful features:

1. you can search the specified articles and exclude patents;
2. search within defined dates is possible;
3. search only articles in the following subject areas;

All of these features are in Advanced Scholar Search link and it is quite handy.

But the real treasure is hidden in Scholar Preference page: at the bottom of the page you find Bibliography Manager and (that is the pearl) Show links to import citations into option.

That's it! Select it and start searching - any book or article. For instance, let's find Trigonometric series Handbook. Now look carefully at the bottom of the results:

Cited by 3597 - Related articles - All 6 versions - Import into BibTeX

That's right - we can instantly get a BiBTeX file and paste it in our favourite BiBTeX manager. It saves a great deal of time for me, so I hope that it would be useful for you, too.
