While convenient to have a citation generating tool readily available as you search Google Scholar, there are some limitations:
- The Google Scholar citation generator only offers a handful of citation styles, but luckily they are the most common ones used at UVic -- APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, and Vancouver Style.
- You can only capture one citation at a time.
- It only generates citations for your reference list/bibliography, it does not provide in-text citations.
- As with most citation generators, you must double-check the citation generated is correct. (For example, if you look at the APA-formatted citation on the screenshot, you will notice there is a formatting error in the article title. The word 'review' after the colon, should be capitalized. In addition, the DOI is missing. If you were to use this citation, you would need to fix it in your document.)
