Scholar Search
Find papers and cite them instantly.
Google Scholar is great at finding papers. CitationWizard.net's scholar search is almost as good. It adds building a reference list properly formatted in any style (with DOIs!), one-click access to open access PDFs, and direct access through your library databases (no need to search again at your library).
