As legal opinions are not typically written for search engine optimization (SEO), this does not always return the best results first.

I like the fact that you can reference other works and link to PDF's. I've been using article directories for some of my research, but this sounds like something I should explore GS sounds like a great resource.

What I normally do is import into Zotero reference manager (with one click), and then when you copy a reference from Zotero (ctrl+alt+c) when you paste, it will be in APA format (assuming you set up APA as your default).

(I am careful to check my Endnote-formatted citations from GS, as they do not give the author first name but an initial.) But this goes for any downloaded citation, which can sometimes be a problem. I've had to tweak the occasional formatted citation for endnote to remove spurious info, such as institutional affiliation, from the author field. The main inconvenience with GS is that I can't seem to download more than a single citation at a time. In the import process, it's time-consuming to repeatedly import single citations. For full-text searches I go to first search or proquest...through my university. But for books it's absolutely indispensable; I'll have a stack of books and in 5 minutes I've captured all of the citations.

I can’t see RIS output format in the ‘Show links to import citations into…’ menu. Do I miss something? Thanks.
