When I doing a query in Google Scholar, it isn't possible to import the BibTeX and EndNote citations to Zotero.

In Google Scholar have buttons of citations that to click are import to programs default like BibTeX, EndNote, RefMan, RefWorks. However, this function doesn't working in my Zotero. I'm using the version more update of Zotero and Firefox version 56.

    1) While it should work as long as Zotero is open, you shouldn't import RIS/BibTeX directly from Google Scholar. You should just use the Save to Zotero button. Is that not working either?

    2) You're getting some odd errors, so you might try temporarily disabling your other Firefox extensions to see if that helps.

    I'm not sure if something got lost in your post. Does the Save to Zotero button work for you?

    The Zotero button is work... the button of Google Scholar that no import directly to Zotero... in old version of Zotero, worked well... but, I'm going to adapt the using only button Zotero
  • bwiernik
    Using the Zotero button will always be the best way to import into Zotero.

    Yes to everything said about the Zotero button. But please know that the best way to get accurate, complete, and reliable information from Google Scholar is to use it as an index and click through to the publishers' websites. Then, use the Zotero button to download the metadata from there. The situation has improved greatly from a year ago but getting metadata directly via the GS site will sometimes give wrong data (wrong journal, incomplete author list, etc.). It takes a few more seconds but clicking though to the publisher site should always provide better metadata.
