Mine doesn't show the "reference"

I searched a lot about building a reference list by loading a PDF into Mendeley Desktop. It is shown that there should be an infobar titiled by "reference" in the right subpanel when Mendeley Desktop uploaded with a PDF paper. However, mine still doesn't show the reference, even I have tried many versions. So I am wondering why mine doesn't work.

Why can't Mendeley download the pdf file?

$

Our lab recently purchased a group share of Mendeley which costs a lot of money. Unfortunately, as a papers2 user, I am very disappointed in Mendeley's lack of functions. One of the most annoying thing is the lack of pdf download support of mendeley. In papers2, I can search and downloads pdf files directly within the program or using the web plugin, I can open the pdf link and papers will automatically download the pdf file. With Mendeley, I can only import the citation but then I need to download the pdf file separately and import it again. Mendeley also lacks the functionality to recognise the DOI information and tries to match metadata using Google Scholar which most of the time returns incomplete or wrong information. I don't understand how am I supposed to use Mendeley if it cannot import the pdf and if it cannot retrieve proper metadata? At the moment, users have to do these manually.

Changing Reference Style

I am writing a proposal in which I need to cite references using superscripts (i.e., "Nature" format). However, my references need to be listed in APA format. I am unable to change the references to APA using the MS word plug-in. Please advise.

Including Website URL in bibliography using Elsevier (numeric with titles) style

$

Hi-- I have referenced several websites, but their URLs do not show up in the bibliography. The entries have type "Web page" in Mendeley and the URLs are included in the "URL" field. It does not matter which option I select in the "Include URLs and Date Accessed in Bibliographies" dropdown. This is with "Elsevier (numeric with titles)" style. I took a crack at adding this to a new Elsevier citation using the visual editor as recommended to the author of a similar post (http://support.mendeley.com/customer/portal/questions/1291194-including-website-urls-in-bibliography), but when I tried to save the changes under a new name I got an unspecified error message. I have no experience with such programming so I probably made a mistake. Any way someone at Mendeley could create a new "Elsevier (numeric with titles)" citation style that includes the URL and Date Accessed in the bibliography for those references labeled "websites"? If so, please let me know what you are calling it! Thanks in advance, Vivian

Inline citations use S. instead of the p

Im using Mendeley 1.11. My Thesis is in German. So I have to use in the inline citation the S for "Seite" and not the p vor "page". Basis would be APA6 with the change from p to S. In previous FAQ if been searching arround. So csl editor seems to be the solution. In mendeley destop i installed csl datat exporter from the link https://raw.github.com/wiki/citation-style-editor/csl-editor/cslExporter.csl Where in the SCL can I change the p into a S. Thanks

Drive with Mendeley Desktop failed. "Organized files" library is fine. Can I restore old library?

$

I installed Mendeley Desktop on Drive C:, and my Organized Files on drive D:. Drive C: failed and messed up its RAID setup (I couldn't restore/salvage the old Windows Image.) So, I replaced C: with a new set of RAID drives and a new version of Windows. I reinstalled Mendeley Desktop on the new C: and set its File Organization option pointing to the previous path on D: (which still has my several thousand paper library in Journal and Author directories; as well as a folder containing an up-to-date Bibliography file for each of my old groups.) It is in a folder in the same path in D:. BTW, D: had RAID 10, so I thought back then I had no need to back it up; I do now. Anyway, I still have the RAID mirror of the old C: with all its data (but no bootable image.) Is there a way I can copy and move data around so I can restore my library with all my old groups and keywords etc.? I'm a PhD candidate in Computer Science; so, I am comfortable getting deep into Mendeley's old a file structure to retrieve files.

I am trying to include a couple of unpublished PhD and Master's theses/dissertations in a paper I am writing but I can't figure out how to get Mendeley to cite it properly. Any suggestions? I am trying to get it to look like this: Lastname, F. N. (Year). Title of dissertation (Unpublished doctoral dissertation). Name of Institution, Location.

import .ris from Papers2 missing pdfs

HI, I am trying to import my papers2 library but many pdf files end up missing even though the file locations is referred to in rid file. here is an example; TY - JOUR ID - 150 T1 - The held out wings (how) Drosophila gene encodes a putative RNA-binding protein involved in the control of muscular and cardiac activity A1 - Zaffran, S A1 - Astier, M A1 - Gratecos, D A1 - Sémériva, M Y1 - 1997/00/01 N2 - In an attempt to identify genes that are involved in Drosophila embryonic cardiac development, we have cloned and characterized a gene whose function is required late in embryogenesis to control heart rate and muscular activity. This gene has been named held out wings (how) because hypomorphic mutant alleles produce adult animals that have lost their ability to fly and that keep their wings horizontal at a 90 degree angle from the body axis. In contrast to the late phenotype observed in null mutants, the How protein is expressed early in the invaginating mesoderm and this expression is apparently under the control of twist. When the different mesodermal lineages segregate, the expression of How becomes restricted to the myogenic lineage, including the cardioblasts and probably all the myoblasts. Antibodies directed against the protein demonstrate that How is localized to the nucleus. how encodes a protein containing one KH-domain which has been implicated in binding RNA. how is highly related to the mouse quaking gene which plays a role at least in myelination and that could serve to link a signal transduction pathway to the control of mRNA metabolism. The properties of the how gene described herein suggest that this gene participates in the control of expression of as yet unidentified target mRNAs coding for proteins essential to cardiac and muscular activity.

How do you edit authors's names so that in-text citations are correct when you insert them

$
0
0
I have a number of references where the in-text citation (APA style) comes out with the author's first name, with the first initial of the last author at the front, and so on. There seems to be no guidance on what format Mendeley wants so that the references can be fixed. Not only that, but the "last initial first situation" can't even be edited so that it shows up properly in the Mendeley Details window.

Is there a way to turn off the goddam "Keep Manual Edit?" pop-ups?

I just want to edit my citations, I don't want yet another long delay courtesy of Mendeley.
