I just installed the latest version of Mendeley Desktop and imported all my PDF files into my library. To my surprise, many papers were marked as "need review" and, when I went to check them, alot of information was usually missing.
I manually and presed "search by title", but it did not solve the problem, since:
1) some information was still not retrieved (e.g. volume, issue, etc.
2) some information was incomplete (e.g. truncated journal names, containing "..." in the place of some words)
3)only the first 1-2 authors were retrieved
This pretty much makes it impossible to use the citation tools when writing papers, since I obviously cannot go and fix all my library details by hand... and now I feel I might be forced to move back from Mendeley to another reference manager software.
I saw people had similar problems with the webimporter in the past. Any updates on this issue or clues of how to solve it when importing PDFs directly into Mendeley?
P.S.: I am using Mendeley Desktop v.1.11
