Get Article Links from a Google Scholar Profile
Background
A researcher comes to you and asks your help putting together their dossier for tenure and promotion. To make the case that they are doing good work, they would like a list of links to their top-cited articles as a table to include in their dossier, which will be a Microsoft Word document. So, you need to get a list of their top articles (without any other data) from Google Scholar and make them into a table that works in Microsoft Word.
Task
Go to a scholar's profile on Google Scholar and extract their top 100 articles as a table of links (e.g., Royce Kimmons).
Looking in the Inspector, you find that each link for an article on Google Scholar has the class "gsc_a_at".
Go to ChatGPT or another AI and ask it the following:
in JS, find all links with the class gsc_a_at and return them as a table in the console
This provides the following command, which you can then run in the Inspector Console:
const links = document.querySelectorAll(".gsc_a_at");const linkData = [];links.forEach((link) => { const href = link.href; const text = link.textContent; linkData.push({ href, text });});console.table(linkData);
This provides the following table in the Inspector Console:
This table can then be copy/pasted to Microsoft Word.
