This question is asked in order to improve the citation of articles, books, proceedings etc.
Either you can simply go to the article at the publisher website where most of the prestigious publisher will provide this service. This is always for free even if the journal or conference ...etc is a paid or requires subscription.
Otherwise, you can relax your mind and just search the targeted article's title in the scholar.google.com . Each item of the search result has a so-called option "cite". Clicking this option provides different types of citations.
Thanks Ali. I would like to know the answers too from our colleagues here in RG

If you log in to the Google Scholar and click on Settings at Homepage, there is an option that lets you to define an import filter (BibTeX, RefMan, EndNote, or RefWorks). Select BibTeX and save the setting. Then if you do the search you'll find the export link for BibTeX under each search result.
Hello everybody ! I would suggest using the Mendeley desktop, where you have to import or to enter manually an information of your source (article, book, patent etc.). Then you have several opportunities of how to use that data:
a) you may use a Mendeley plugin for Word, LibreOffice in order to cite the reference, or
b) to export reference information (you've entered) from Mendeley desktop to BibTex or XML Endnote formats.
Hello Ali,
As Mohammed Alser mentioned already in his post, the best thing to do is go directly to the publisher's website and download the bibtex citation. This will guarantee that you obtain the correct citation. However, you may have to alter the file if you are writing in LaTex by substituting special characters for the LaTeX makeup language. I encourage all of my students to learn and write in LaTeX. More and more scientific journals are accepting it as a submission file. The advantage is that it has a very clean way of handling citations and can a manuscript can quickly be reformatted to meet the different requirements of journals. It also has the best formatting that I know for mathematical equations.
A very nice bibtex manager is JabRef, which is Java based and OS independent. When correctly setup, the program will automatically link to your archived PDF file. This is handy when searching for articles whose bibtex files you have collected over the years.

For anything with a DOI (most journal articles, conference papers, book chapters and books) you can get a complete and standard BibTeX result via the Crossref search interface (http://search.crossref.org/ ). Click on "Actions" and then "Cite". This is probably preferable to trying to find the BibTex option on different publisher's websites. If you already know the DOI, you can also get Crossref BibTeX directly from their API by inserting a DOI in the following URL: https://api.crossref.org/works/{doi}/transform/application/x-bibtex . I would argue that it is also normally better than the BibTeX from Google Scholar (which lacks DOI and URL values). For patents though I guess the Google Scholar BibTex may be the simplest option.

Either, I would suggest a tool for literature management, e.g Mendeley, or search on google scholar with the title of the article and the authors names.
1- Google scholar [https://scholar.google.com].
2- Crossref [ https://search.crossref.org/]
Google scholar, tutorial can be found here: https://texblog.org/2014/04/22/using-google-scholar-to-download-bibtex-citations/
The best way to get bibtex is go to google scholar, search an article, at the bottom you will find cite option, click on that one, it will list different styles of reference, you can select bibtex and use it.
hope it is helpful to you
Google Scholar is a limited resource-- good for a few items, but if you use it too much they will block your account temporarily since you look like a "bot" to them. I would like to know if I can just pay Google to avoid this happening.
