(semi) automagically create bibliographies using Google Scholar

I’ve found a better way to keep track of bibliographies for my scientific research projects:

1) Google Scholar > Scholar Preferences > Save citations as BibTex (similar options in ScienceDirect, etc.)
2) save resulting BibTex formatted citations in text file using Notepad
3) download JabRef http://jabref.sourceforge.net/  or run as Java app over the net
4) import text file via JabRef > File > Import into current database
5) export JabRef db as Harvard .RTF (~ APA style) (or many others)
6) Paste into Word doc.
JabRef is open source & free.
This works amazingly well.
