This automation scrapes scholarly article data from Google Scholar and appends the information directly into a specified Google Sheet tab. This workflow is incredibly useful for researchers, students, and academics who are collecting data for literature reviews, meta-analyses, or staying up to date on the latest publications in their field.
The process begins by activating a scraper model on the current tab where Google Scholar is open, extracting the relevant scholarly article data. Subsequently, this data is automatically appended into a designated Google Sheet. This seamless integration between Google Scholar and Google Sheets through Bardeen makes data collection and organization significantly more efficient.
Pro Tip: Customize the scraper model to extract specific information such as titles, authors, publication dates, and abstracts. This workflow can be further extended to include notifications or updates in apps like Slack or email, ensuring you never miss important research publications.
By automating the data collection process, researchers can save time and focus on analysis and interpretation, making this workflow essential for anyone involved in scholarly research.
To begin, ensure you have the Bardeen app installed on your device.

For those without coding skills, tools like Octoparse offer a no-code solution to scrape Google Scholar. You simply need to download the tool, input the Google Scholar URL, and customize the scraping workflow to extract the necessary data. This method is particularly useful for those who wish to avoid the complexities of programming.
For individuals comfortable with coding, using Python presents a more flexible approach. By leveraging libraries such as BeautifulSoup and Requests, you can write scripts to automate the extraction of data from Google Scholar. This method requires setting up a virtual environment, installing necessary libraries, and writing a Python script to parse the HTML content of Google Scholar pages to extract titles, authors, publication dates, and more.
Once you've scraped data from Google Scholar, the next step is exporting the results, ideally into a format like Google Sheets for further analysis or review. Manually, this can be done by saving citations to your Google Scholar Library and exporting them in batches. This method, however, is limited to exporting only a certain number of citations at a time and requires a Google account.
Automating this process with tools like Bardeen not only simplifies the extraction but also the export of data directly into Google Sheets. This seamless integration allows for real-time updates and organization of scholarly article data without manual intervention. By customizing the scraper model, you can ensure that all relevant information is captured and stored efficiently in your Google Sheets, making the analysis and review process significantly more manageable.
