Within emacs, I use gscholar-bibtex: https://github.com/cute-jumper/gscholar-bibtex

If you use org-mode, this is just one feature of an awesome full-blown bibliography management package called org-ref by John Kitchen (available on melpa or github). Exportation to LaTeX is just a couple of key strokes away. Check out its features from this short youtube video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t925KRBbFc

Org-ref is one of the most beautiful things that happened to the org-mode ecosystem IMO. It’s truly second to none in ease of use. Couple that with Helm fuzzy searching and any pdf/bibtex reference is a keystroke away. Absolutely worth a try!

This is rad! I wish it had MathSciNet as well. https://mathscinet.ams.org/mathscinet/index.html

MSN isn't free, but MRef (https://mathscinet.ams.org/mref) is up to the task of finding an article given enough information about it.

Very nice! I only wish Google Scholar included the DOI field...

Do people who aren't librarians use DOIs? Most citation formats don't even include it.

I love DOIs. If the bib format isn't too strict, I always include the doi and hyperlink it to dx.doi.org.

That way, if I need to check something in a reference quickly, I can just click the link in the bibliography.
