Bibliographic Reference Manager: Mendeley

Organising references

Organising references

 

The Mendeley Reference Manager automatically organises your references into collections.

 

 

All References - references added to your library in the last 30 days.

 

Recently Read - list of the most recent PDF files opened in the last 30 days.

 

Favorites - references marked as favourites.

 

My Publications - this collection displays the publications you have authorised and claimed through your Scopus Author Profile.

 

Trash - references you have deleted from your library.

 

 

Creating collections (folders)

Customised collections enable the organisation your references.

Adding a reference to a collection in your Mendeley library does not relocate the reference; any references added to a collection will continue to appear in All References. If a collection is deleted, the references will still be available in All References.

To create a new collection, select New Collection from the left-hand navigation panel.

 

 

To add a reference to a collection, drag the references to the desired collection. Only one reference can be dragged at a time.

Several references can be sent to a collection; select the desired references and then click on Organize and indicate the folder to which the selected references are to be sent.
