If you're conducting a knowledge synthesis project or another project that requires you to bulk export references from Google Scholar, you can download a program called Publish or Perish to help you. You can download the program here.
Once you've installed Publish or Perish, select Google Scholar from the list of databases:

Enter your query directly into the keyword search bar, just like you would in the Google Scholar search bar:

Select the number of results you want the program to retrieve in the Maximum number of results drop-down menu or enter another number:

To export the results, click on Save Results from the right-hand menu and click on the format you want:

You can export as an RIS file for most citation management software or click on Endnote for an Endnote file. You can also choose to generate a list of results in a number of citation guides. This will open a plain text document with the results.
