Mendeley: Installing and setting up Mendeley Reference Manager

When creating a Mendeley account, it is very important that you do not use the “Sign in via your institution” option, as SU does not have this integration with Mendeley. Also, when prompted to create a password, do not use the same password that you use for your SU accounts, as this may prevent you from logging in to the desktop applications.

Mendeley Reference Manager provides seamless integration with Mendeley's online services and it allows you to work on MS Word Online and other online platforms. Download Mendeley Reference Manager by visiting the following page: https://www.mendeley.com/reference-management/reference-manager

You need Mendeley Cite to be able to do 'in-text citations' and automatically add your bibliography based on your preferred referencing style. To install Mendeley Cite for Word or other devices go to  "Tools" on Mendeley Reference Manager and click on "Install"... and select the plug-in you wish to add.
