I can download this by hand in IE.

http://scholar.google.com/scholar.ris?q=info:j8ymU9rzMsEJ:scholar.google.com/&output=citation&hl=zh-CN&as_sdt=2000&oe=GB&ct=citation&cd=0

But, using follow code

WebClient client = new WebClient();
client.DownloadFile(address, filename);

Show Exception: 403 Forbidden

What's wrong? How can I do that?

I get a 403 in IE, I guess you need to be logged in to retrieve the resource. Your browser may have the credentials cached but your app isn't designed to log you in. Or are you logged in to Google in your browser - try logging out and see if you still have access....
