Universal Reference Formatter
thumb|360px|Add a 'Wikify' link to Scholar results pagesThis tool has been developed to generate a Wikipedia-formatted reference for a citation, with the minimum of effort.
If you are researching a topic and haven't found all the references you need yet, you can use a Google Scholar interface to find an article. A link below each result creates code you can copy and paste directly into Wikipedia.
Alternatively, if you already have some of the citation's details to hand, it might be quicker to use the form interface, which allows you to add as much or as little data as you like, then completes the rest of the citation for you.
Search shortcuts
- Note: Search shortcuts are not yet handled by the above script. In the meantime the old URL http://toolserver.org/~verisimilus/Scholar still supports this functionality via a Firefox search plugin.
If your search ends in a year, the engine will assume that preceding words are authors, and you are searching for papers from that year. For example, searching for "Nash 1950" produces Template:Google scholar cite.
If you enter a DOI or PMID/PMC id, that article will automatically be produced.
For rudimentary BibTeX conversion, click here.
Please feel free to add to the current issues and wishlist as opportunity arises, or to discuss the system on the talk page
