Is it possible to save all the search results in one go?
When searching on google scholar would it be possible to enter in a search term and then save all of the results to Zotero in one shot?
Or is it only possible to do it Page by page (so like 10 articles at a time)
I am doing metadata research and being able to save entire search results would be incredibly helpful

If you try to do this page-by-page you will very quickly find yourself locked out of google scholar.
It seems as though in google scholar I would have to
a) Save all the items to my library manually
b) Select all items in the library manually
c) Export the citations to Zotero
Which is a lot of manual work.
If you need Google Scholar, you can use the Publish or Perish program for some purposes (forward citation searches). I don’t recommend Google Scholar as a general tool for systematic reviews searches, as it yields a very high rate of false positives compared to other databases.
