Hello, Charlotte
I am having problems with the database of my Mendely desktop.
Everytime I open Mendeley it show the message "There was a problem opening your database. A temporary database was created instead. Please note that your changes will not be saved. Please check that your are runnig the latest version of Mendeley Desktop"
It happens all the time that I open the program.
I already checked the version of Mendeley. It is the latest version.
Besides that, I am having duplicates of mendeley entries on Mendeley folder. Lots of duplicates. and I didn't create them.
What's happening? Can you help me?
Thanks,
Cintia

Downloading of Articles from colleagues
Good day,
A colleague of mine sent me articles with which she referenced her research proposal. However on clicking on the 'Get this articles' link in my gmail account, it keeps redirecting me with the notice, 'this page could not be found'.
This is the first time this is happening to me as I have received articles from various colleagues through this means before.
Could you kindly help me rectify this problem please?

Deleting files
Deleting files is the most frustrating thing about Mendeley. I've deleted the same file 10 times in a row now.
I sync my files.
I delete the file (right click delete). I delete it from the trash.
Then it comes right back again.
WHY is it so hard to just delete a file?

"Word cannot open this document template" error with MS Word Plugin
Hi,
I've checked her for answers to this issue, none of the suggestions seems to fix my issues. Each time I open Word I get a popup error message telling me WORD CANNOT OPEN THIS DOCUMENT TEMPLATE. I click OK, and the start up continues. Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Mendeley plug in with word 2013 and windows 8.1
I have successfully used Mendeley citations with my previous word 2010 and windows 7. Having upgraded my laptop I discover that it doesn't work with windows 8.1 and word 2013.
I have followed the Q&A thread and closed and reopened both word and mendeley, installed/uninstalled/reinstalled Mendeley but to no avail. I always get the message 'Range cannot be deleted in Microsoft word'
Any suggestions ?

*basic* features missing after years??
People have been clamoring for the ability to change which columns appear in table view for literally years. As of 2014 there is at least a "debug" option that you can turn on to allow it (Ctrl+Shift+D, Settings tab, Feature_DocumentsViewHeaderMenu=True, restart Mendeley). I found it somewhere on the support board, with serious warnings about how CRAZY things might happen if you use it. The warnings are true, crazy things do happen.
My question: how, in 2014, is something like changing columns considered a bleeding-edge feature that only advanced users should dare attempt?? How did you ever get the program written in the first place? Did somebody quit? Did you hire the boss' son to replace him, or something? Seriously, this is basic programming. Please, send the kid to college and hire a real programmer.
I see people have also been asking for the "read/unread" flag to not be automatically set to "read" by viewing the PDF -- since 2009.
You seem to be a serious company, so what gives guys? I don't get it.

Citation Style
How can I create a formation style for Molecular and Celular Proteomics?
References for journals and books should be in the following styles:
1. MacDonald, G. M., Steenhuis, J. J., and Barry, B. A. (1995) A difference fourier transform infrared spectroscopic study of chlorophyll oxidation in hydroxylamine-treated photosystem II. J. Biol. Chem 270, 8420-8428
2. Sambrook, J., Fritsch, E. F., and Maniatis, T. (1989) Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2nd Ed., pp. 1-50, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY
Journal names are abbreviated according to Chemical Abstracts. Authors are fully responsible for the accuracy of the references.

MLA Bibliography Entries
When I put my MLA bibliography citations into Word 2008, the first names of the authors are currently displaying as only first initials. But MLA 7th ed. asks for a full first name. How can I address this? Here is an example of what an entry looks like:
Ferguson, M. (1994). Breaking in Englishness: Black Beauty and the Politics of Gender, Race and Class. Women, 5(1), 34–52.
Garber, M. (1996). Dog Love. New York: Touchstone.

Removing duplicates (instead of merging)
I ran a duplicate search and found 21 duplicate entries. I did not find any option to delete the duplicate entries. There is only an option of merging the duplicates. If I merge the duplicates, another pdf file is NOT removed, instead (2) is added on top of the name (so the duplicates still remain in the folder).
How I should delete these duplicates through Mendeley itself?
Thanks in advance.

Need to save a modified style for my thesis. I'm using the Chrome browser.

Adding a "preprint" paper type
Hi all,
I wonder if it would be possible to add a new paper type called "pre-print" on the papers menu. It would be perfect to characterized all ArXiv papers, which are indeed preprint articles.
Thanks a lot

PS. Trash is empty
Many thanks,

Filling in blank fields using Mendeley research catalog
Hello,
Something I can't quite figure out how to do, and wondering if it is implemented.
If I import a new article and lots of fields are missing I am often given the oppurtunity to "search by title" or similar. This is very useful and, if I correct the title, it reliably results in all fields being populated.
My question is, how can I access that (very useful) functionality for any article, i.e. including ones which I imported a long time ago but are missing the odd bit of citation info?
And, a related question, is there a way to fill in blank fields from the `research catalog entry for this paper'. Often I can see the, I suppose central, entry for an article has lots more info than in my local library. For any paper, I'd love to be able to click a button and have all empty fields suck in info from the central mendeley catalog entry.
Any tips appreciated.
Thank you!
Paul

How can I register a reference manually?
Hi,
I have two questions:
1: How can I register a reference manually?
2: Is it possible for two persons to work on the same document (word) at the same time through mendeley?

Responsiveness of an entry with lots of annotations
System: Linux.
The mendeley version is 1.11.
I make more than 200 annotations to a pdf that I am reading. I select this entry and no problem arise. I can open the file and go through the annotations and everything is smooth. But then I select any other entry right after this, i.e, jump to another entry from this entry which has many annotations, the whole Mendeley application become irresponsive for 20 seconds or so. This never happens to normal entries without many annotations. I suspect it has to do with some functions that are processing these many annotations at the background when I leave the entry.
This phenomenon persists in both of my Ubuntu devices. Is there a way to solve this?

web importer
Hello, the pages of search results from "Web of Knowledge" starting from 2nd can not be imported with batch import. We are importing lists with 300+ hits and importing individual results is not an option. I really want the import to work not only on the 1st page.
Thank you in advance

Many authors in bibliography listed as et al. and 2 papers by same author and year not listed as a,b
I'm using the Behavioral, Ecology and Sociobiology citation style (one of the Springer styles) and it seems to have some mistakes. When there are 4 or more authors, it lists them as et al. in the bibliography. However they should all be listed. I have tried changing the et al requirements, setting them to the maximum of 18 both in advanced settings and under the bibliography and nothing changes.
Also, two papers by the same author and same year should be listed as Smith 2007a,b in the text, but both are listed. Also two papers by the same author and different years should omit the duplicate author (Smith 2007, 2009). However this also isn't happening.
Is there a fix to the citation style? Or how can I make these changes happen manually.
Thanks!
Ysabel
