Save to Zotero for Google Scholar Alerts / Gmail

CroftGrum

Hi,

I have a number of Google Scholar alerts coming straight into my Gmail account. The format appears to be identical to Google Scholar, and I was wondering whether the multiple-article 'save to Zotero' could be added for gmail+Google Scholar Alert users? Or is there already an easy way for me to do this? Currently I am copy/pasting the article name into Google Scholar and then using the existing feature.

Kind regards,
Aaron

Such a feature would probably take a lot of additional work, since the actual page structure of Gmail is completely different from Google Scholar, even if the email looks like Google Scholar.

Thanks for your response,

Ok it's no big deal. The incremental convenience gain isn't worth such a large effort from the devs. It's a shame it's not a simple code copy!

Thanks to the devs for providing such a fantastic piece of software. I reckon this'll easily shave a few months off my PhD in the long run.

Much obliged,
Aaron

I would however add this to a wish list. I'm a bit surprised that there isn't a straightforward workaround. I too have a number of Scholar Alerts set up and it's not that easy to do the cut and paste. Nor does it seem very easy to jump from the Alert email to a page in Google - though there may be a trick that I am not aware of.
