Abstract: Let $E:y^2=(x-e_1)(x-e_2)(x-e_3)$ be a nonconstant elliptic curve over $mathbbQ(t)$, where $e_{j}inmathbbZ[t]$. We describe a method for finding a specialization $tmapsto{t}_{0}inmathbbQ$ such that the specialization homomorphism is injective. The method can be directly extended to elliptic curves with $e_{j}inmathcal{R}_K[t]$ where $K$ is a number field and $mathcal{R}_K$ is some UFD such that $mathcal{O}_{K}subsetmathcal{R}_{K}subsetK$. Further, we make a simplification of the method for a special case of quadratic twists. The method is applied to obtain exactly the rank and prove that a set of points are free generators of several elliptic curves over $mathbbQ(t)$ coming from cite{Me}.
