Mendeley Cite speeds up the process of referencing when writing, giving researchers the tools to quickly and easily insert references from their Mendeley library directly into their Microsoft Word document.

The Mendeley Cite add-in for Word, which can be used without having your reference manager open or even installed, allows you to insert individual or multiple references and automatically create a bibliography from the citations you've inserted.

We are continuously developing this brand-new Mendeley Cite tool, with new features and functionality being added regularly. For more information about the most recent releases please see our release notes -notes-mendeley-cite.

"Mendeley is a free reference manager and academic social network that can help you organize your research, collaborate with others online, and discover the latest research." (www.elsevier.com/solutions/mendeley)

Mendeley is a freely available web-based reference manager that can also be used offline and allows you to save, organize, and share sources you find during your research. Mendeley allows users to upload documents and add annotations or notes. Mendeley is able to pull bibliographic information from saved sources uploaded to your account and automatically formats in-text citations and bibliographies.

First, go to www.mendeley.com and create an account using any email address. Next, download the browser extension, Mendeley Web Importer, on the Mendeley website and select your browser of choice (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer).

Once you have finished downloading the Desktop application it will ask you to log in. Use the account information you chose when setting up your Mendeley account. Your Mendeley library will automatically sync when you add references or make changes in the desktop or web extension.

Mendeley Cite, the new citation add-in for Microsoft Word, takes the time out of referencing. Mendeley Cite is compatible with Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft Word versions 2016 and above and with the Microsoft Word app for iPad. If you are using an earlier version of Word, you can use the existing Mendeley Citation Plugin for Word available with Mendeley Desktop. Find out more here.

While browsing web pages, you can save references to your library directly from the page of the database you're browsing. Just click the toolbar button as you come across a paper you'd like to save. The web extension will display a reference that it can import from the web page you are viewing. Click "Add to Mendeley" and the reference is added to your library!

To create a new Collection, you can right-click on the words "New Collection" in the left panel of Mendeley Desktop and give your folder a name. Once done, hit "Enter" on your keypad. These folders can be renamed at any point by clicking on the three dots to the left of the title to reveal editing options.

Similar to the Search feature, the filter menu is context-specific. Only tags used within the current view will be available to select. Make sure "All References" is selected in order to select from the full list of tags.

Here, you will search for Mendeley Cite in the Office store. Once you select "Add," you will accept their terms and conditions and select "Get Started." This button will send you to the log in page, you will log in with the account information you previously set up.

Search for a citation in All References or a specific collection. Check the box next to the item you want to cite and click the "Insert citation" button at the bottom of the box. Select the citation style from the Citation Settings tab in the Mendeley Cite box.

Mendeley offers Bluebook styles for citations, however, to be able to utilize it you must first add the style to the citation options. Select "citation settings" on the right-side panel and then "change citation style."

You will see, the Bluebook style is not listed on the pre-downloaded citations. Select "search for another style," which will allow you to type in "Bluebook" into the search bar and locate your two options. Currently, Mendeley does not have the ability to add a footnote to a word document, therefore you must select Bluebook Inline which will insert the citation directly into the page wherever you choose.

To create a bibliography from citations in your Library that are not in a paper, right-click on the citation in Reference Manager and select "Copy Formatted Citation" and paste the citation into the document. As of now, this only works with one citation at a time.

Your bibliography will also reorder and restructure itself every time you add an additional citation - there's no need to completely rebuild it. Mendeley will also automatically renumber the items if you insert a new citation earlier in the document.

A reference with an attached PDF will display a small PDF icon next to its listing in Mendeley. Either click on the PDF icon titled "Read," or click on the PDF title under "Files," to open Mendeley's PDF Reader.

Simply by highlighting text within the PDF, you will be prompted with a small menu asking to "Highlight." The highlight tool will apply whichever color is currently set as active. Once highlighted, left-click on the text to change the color, add it to your notebook, or delete the annotation.

In the top right-hand corner, you can switch between the Select tool to the Highlighter tool, change the Highlighter shade and add notes. Using the dropdown menu that appears next to the highlighter tool to switch between text-based highlighting and rectangle-based highlighting. The latter can be useful for images, graphs, charts, or large sections of text.

When you select "Add to Notebook," Mendeley will add the highlighted text to your Notebook where you can include descriptive text or notes with it. You can add all highlights to the same notebook or create new ones as you work through the PDF.

Each document you open for reading will receive its own tab. You can switch back and forth between documents by clicking on each. Return to the browsing view by closing the document tabs, or by clicking on the "My Library" tab that appears.
