Google Scholar Links
Add Google Scholar lookup links to article references
What it does
Google Scholar Links adds a clickable “View in Google Scholar” link next to every reference in an article’s bibliography. Readers can find cited works with a single click — no need to copy and paste titles.
How it works
Once enabled, the plugin automatically processes the references section on every published article page:
- Each bibliography entry gets a Google Scholar search link appended
- Clicking the link opens Google Scholar in a new tab with the reference pre-searched
- No configuration or API keys needed — it works out of the box
Key features
- Zero configuration — install, enable, done
- Works with all reference styles — the plugin uses the full reference text for the search query
- New tab — links always open in a new browser tab, keeping the reader on your article
- Customizable label — change the link text in the plugin settings
