Citing With Google Scholar

1) To get citation information in Google Scholar, click on the "Cite" link under the information about the item that interests you.

2) From there, copy and paste the citation information you need, or click the links at the bottom to send citation information to a citation management tool such as RefWorks. RefWorks is a tool that the UC Merced Library pays for the University's faculty, students, and staff to use for their research.

3) Make sure to double-check the citation Google Scholar generates; while using this tool can save you time, it is not perfect.
