Mendeley 101: Make your accounts

To begin using Mendeley:

1.  Create an account at www.mendeley.com.  You can use your Meredith email or a personal email address to create your account.  This online Mendeley account will allow you to collect and organize references in your online Mendeley library (Note that if you have already created an account in Scopus, you can use this same account for Mendeley and will not need to create a new account).

2.  Download and install the Mendeley Web Importer for  your preferred browser (Chrome, Firefox or Edge).  This browser extension will allow you to automatically gather citation information and full text PDFs from library research databases and other websites.

3 (Optional) Download and install the Mendeley Reference Manager.   Mendeley Reference Manager is a desktop app thai allows you to collect and organize references, and it automatically syncs with your online Mendeley library.  

4. If you wish to integrate Mendeley with Microsoft Word, download Mendeley Cite (compatible with Office 365, Word 2016 and after, and Word for iPad).
