I have installed Mendeley Desktop ( -mendeley-desktop/ubuntu/instructions/) in my computer. It turns out that I can only run the program through the terminal, by sudo mendeleydesktop . If I try to run it from the dock, or even through the terminal without sudo, it doesn't run. It stars briefly (0.5 sec) but suddenly it closes.
Is it possible to automatically synchronize Mendeley desktop every time a new reference is added?Every time I add a new reference using the web plugin, I have to sync again the desktop version, so that the new reference is recognized and can be cited in Word. Is it possible to automate the process?
Mendeley is a web application that helps you collect, manage, and cite research sources. It's easy to use, accessible within your web browser and/or on your desktop, and best of all it's free. Mendeley allows you to organize, annotate, and highlight PDFs, add to your citations, organize them into collections for different projects, and create bibliographies using Word or OpenOffice. It is available to use in any web browser and surprisingly powerful. Mendeley also has a downloadable desktop application for your Mendeley library.
You may notice on Mendeley's downloads page that there are two seemingly similar desktop programs: Mendeley Desktop and Mendeley Reference Manager. In 2020, Mendeley announced that they were transferring Mendeley Web Libraries to their new Reference Manager, which would also have a downloadable desktop version. While you can still download and use Mendeley Desktop (the old version), we recommend that you download and use Mendeley Reference Manager, since it is more up-to-date and integrates easily with the web version.

In the desktop version of Mendeley, look for the file menu. Click on View, then look through the list until you see Citation Style. There will be a small radio button (a circle) beside your citation style of choice. If you have a different preference, click More Styles. A dialog box will pop up and let you search for whichever citation style you need.
Currently, the only version of the Mendeley reference manager tool that is fully supported for users using campus-licensed MS Word products is Mendeley Desktop. The newest generation of the tool, Mendeley Reference Manager, requires access to Microsoft AppSource, which is currently disabled for UNL users, for its citation plug-in. The UNL Libraries is pursuing options with NU ITS for future solutions. In the meantime, Mendeley Desktop ( -management/mendeley-desktop) remains fully supported by Mendeley and allows for full functionality on UNL-licensed MS Word installations.
Mendeley is a free reference management platform. It has both a web and desktop component, allowing you to add resources to Mendeley Web from any device and to sync to Mendeley Desktop at a later time. Mendeley is also capable of syncing with Zotero. Mendeley Desktop can be used without an internet connection.
The online site has the same information but does not store the full PDFs (it will give you links to find them in the library); the online site also has extensive social networking features that make it easy to find researchers, groups, and papers you might be interested in and add them to your library or your contacts. Both versions of Mendeley automatically sync with each other, so you never have to worry that a paper you added to the desktop version isn't in the web version (or vice versa).
