Google Scholar citations

[mclearc]

I know people have posted about using Google Scholar for import before. But I was wondering whether I'm doing something wrong. When I import form Google scholar I don't get the author's full first name, the volume and issue number of the journal the article appears in, or the page numbers of the article, even if all of this is information that is clearly there in the Google entry. Perhaps there is a way to change this behavior? And if not, consider it a feature request

While I'm at it, it would be great to see other sources (e.g. WorldCat) in the Autocomplete paper page.

I'd download 12.7.5 again. If you still aren't getting full details contact tech support.

As for autocomplete, check out the next update when it's available, you'll get your wish (well, not WorldCat, whose direct search servers are run by OCLC and are behind a paywall).

Thanks Jon. I'll re-download, and look forward to the update.

I've downloaded and installed 12.7.6 and haven't seen any changes in the (in)completeness of Google Scholar citations. Sente is still managing to import full info, including full author name, page range, and journal volume and issue number whereas none of this is coming through with Bookends. I understand that this may well be a problem that Google Scholar is generating. But it would be great to be able to remove Sente from my importation of citations workflow.
