BibTeX to APA
--------------

Convert a webpage displaying a BibTex citation (like Google Scholar) to an APA-formatted reference.

How to use:

1) Create a new bookmark on your web browser's bookmark bar. For example, in Chrome, right-click the bookmark bar and choose "Add Page...". 

2) Name the bookmark something like "To APA", and then for the URL, paste the following:

javascript:text1 = document.body.textContent;text2 = bibToApa(text1);document.body.textContent = text2;function bibToApa(text){var authors = /author\=\{([^}]+)\}/g.exec(text);var year = /year\=\{([^}]+)\}/g.exec(text);var title = /title\=\{([^}]+)\}/g.exec(text);var journal = /journal\=\{([^}]+)\}/g.exec(text);var volume = /volume\=\{([^}]+)\}/g.exec(text);var number = /number\=\{([^}]+)\}/g.exec(text);var pages = /pages\=\{([^}]+)\}/g.exec(text);newAuthors = authors[1].replace(/^(.*) and (.*?)$/, %27$1 & $2%27);newAuthors = newAuthors.replace(/ and /g, %27, %27);newTitle = title[1].replace(/\{/g, %27%27);newPages = pages[1].replace(/\-\-/g, %27-%27).replace(/\\/g, %27%27);newJournal = journal[1].replace(/\\/g, %27%27).replace(/\&amp\;/g, %27&%27);newJournal = newJournal.replace( /(^|\s)([a-z])/g , function(m,p1,p2){ return p1+p2.toUpperCase(); });newNumber = %27%27;if (number){ newNumber = "(" + number[1] + ")"; };apaFormat = newAuthors + " (" + year[1] + "). " + newTitle + ". " + newJournal + ", " + volume[1] + newNumber + ", " + newPages + ".";return apaFormat;}

3) Go to Google Scholar, and click Scholar Settings in the corner. Under Bibliography manager, choose to show links to import citations into BibTeX.

4) Now, search something on Google Scholar. For example, "Timothy Brady". Under each result, a link that says "Import into BibTeX" should appear. Click this link. Then click the "To APA" bookmark on your toolbar. You should now have an APA-formatted reference for that paper!
