How to store and reuse your citations?

Add PDFs to Mendeley

Add Full-Text PDF to Mendeley

Add articles to Mendeley by dragging and dropping a PDF into the Mendeley Desktop window from your computer. Mendeley will automatically extract the details from the document and create a citation for that article. If you add a PDF for an article citation that is already in your All Documents Folder, Mendeley will find the matching citation and add the PDF.

You can also drag and drop a folder containing multiple articles at the same time.
