Very useful. Am wish to learn how to add manually books, reports etc on Mendeley desktop. Am grateful Sir.
It's a pleasure.
Really nice thank you. One point to note - mendeley has now removed the literature search option from its UI
Very well noted. I'm aware of that and have responded to a few people here with similar concerns. I use the old version and refuse to update it. The way around it is to install one of the archived versions. I prefer the old interface and features. Maybe they are moving towards monetizing those features.
@@JamesAzam Many thanks for your reply- I will explore that workaround! Seems like such an incredible feature!
Very useful tips and student friendly. Introductory tutorial will be very appreciated. Thank you James
SO great thanks for your really helpful and what I am looking for
I'm glad I could help.
My first time hearing about mendeley. This was a well explained TUT.
Thanks for watching, Mufaro. I hope you'll consider it in the near future.
Thank you James,.. this is very helfpul
It's a pleasure.
nice introduction, especially the comments on pdf and the tag functions. thanks very much
I’m glad it was helpful, Shawn.
Hi, thanks for the video, was quite helpful. :) Btw, the singular of notes is a note (without the s at the end).
Thanks.
Thank you so much James this is the easiest tutorial on how to utilise mendeley to follow about! Seriously can’t express how much I appreciate this video!! Thank you! If there are anymore parts to mendeley that you can do more videos on I will greatly appreciate that also. Xox
Thanks for your kind words. I will be releasing an introduction video soon. Watch out!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video James! Very helpful and much appreciated!
Glad it was helpful!
I can't thank you enough, James, for this extremely well taught video. I am totally new to Mendeley and you are so clear, and you maintain such a good pace in your demonstration. I look forward to more tutorials by you. Thank you sooooo very much.
This is heartwarming. I'll try my best!
Was thinking of using Zotero (which do you prefer James?) but after seeing the features explained here will give M serious consideration. Have you done an Intro Video on M James? Many thanks for this tutorial. it was SUPERB! well done sir you are a great teacher, many thanks for taking the time to create this.
Thanks so much, Robert! I use Mendeley exclusively but I know Zotero is great too. They both have their advantages and disadvantages. I'll be releasing an introduction video by close of this week. it has been much requested. Stay tuned.
Perfect piece 👌
Thanks, Martin.
Thanks James. Except the literature search I use all the features. Its a great tip for me now. Keep them coming!
Thanks for the feedback, bro. I'm glad you learnt something new.
Nice video. This video just answered my question on how to reference from the reference session of an article using Mendeley. Quite helpful. Thanks James.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent thanks
You are welcome
Very educative
Thanks.
Amazing and very practical, thank you brother.
I'm glad you liked it
Good job Azam
Thank you.
This is very useful and helpful, keep it coming. You are a great teacher.
Thanks, Ruth.
Very good and well explained for beginners. Keep it up.
Thanks for watching, and the feedback. I appreciate it.
Thank you. This is a detailed easy to follow introduction.
Thanks for watching and for your feedback. I hope you'll return for more of these videos. :)
Great video, super helpful. I've used some of these tips already but the tags and watch folders feature is completely new for me. Works wonders. Thank you :)
I'm glad you learnt something new.
very insightful. Many many thanks. Please develop this type of paper in future.
Thank you, I will.
This video was very helpful. God bless.
I'm glad it was helpful, Harold.
SO WONDERFUL. YOU MADE MY DAY. I LEARNT SOMETHING NEW AFTER A LONG TIME. GOD BLESS YOUI.
Your comment made my day too. Thank you very much.
This was INCREDIBLY helpful, thank you James!
I’m glad it was helpful. 😊😊
Very clear explanation, thanks a lot :-)
You are welcome!
Great presentation, very helpful and clear.
Awesome, thanks!
Amazing sir. I learned a lot. you Taught Wonderfully
It is a pleasure, Shruti.
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
Thank you Mr James. Is it possible to do another tutoria demonstrating how to start from the beginging ..... registration to application. Thank you
Hi Prince, thanks for the suggestion. That tutorial is in the pipeline and will be ready soon. Please hit the notification button so that you are notified when I upload it.
Such a life saver, thanks James!!!
I’m glad the video helps.
Thanks, this is really helpful. The literature search and tag features are new to me and I will definitely try them out.
I'm happy I taught you something new. Thanks for the feedback. Please do try it and let me know what you think.
very well explained !! thanks for sharing your knowledge with other keep it up
Thanks. I'm glad I could help.
Thanks a lot, it's very nice and useful tips I've found so far. And you make it simple and easy to use.
God bless you :)
It's a pleasure, Rida. I'm glad you found them insightful.
Thanks for the tutorial James. I just started writing an MSc Thesis and was very clueless about Mendeley. I'm kinda stuck in the whole Thesis process. Any other videos or recommendation will be helpful and appreciated.
Hi Lady Gee, I'm sorry to hear you are stuck. There are quite a number of tutorials on how to write a thesis on UA-cam. This video and another one I made on how to actually cite references in word or Latex can only handle the referencing aspect of thesis writing. Unfortunately, I have not made videos on thesis writing yet.
Hello James, thanks for the video; very helpful and informative. Can you do a video about syncing problems when using Mendeley on more than one device. I find that it usually messes up my refences or their details.
Thanks for the suggestion, Mohammad. I've never encountered that. Is it possible that you don't sync Mendeley right after use on one device so when you sync it on the next device and later sync the earlier one, it messes it up?
Man, you are awesome
I really appreciate this, Saad!
Thank you for sharing this!
It's a pleasure!
Its is very useful and well explained...need to know how to cite the reference in year wise
Hi Stella, have you watched this tutorial I made on how to cite in Word with Mendeley (ua-cam.com/video/4oAlW9gDwsE/v-deo.html&lc=UgzRA2YnGZxZe7eUBCR4AaABAg)? It might answer your question.
I really think you should try post this on SU library page. I have been to a Mendely Monday session at the SU library and I haven't heard of the tips you mentioned today. Wow
Thanks so much for the positive feedback, Ireland. I will find out if that is possible. I think Mendeley is really useful and everyone needs to hear more about it beyond the basics.
Thanks alooot but would you mind if you do video on introductory part since I'm new for this app
I've got a lot of this request, so I will make the introduction video soon. Thanks for the comment.
Hi James, thanks for the video. It makes me imagine that mendely must really be good. My only challenge now is I am a first timer. An introductory tutorial would do for me.
Thanks, Samuel. A number of people have asked for this so I am going to prioritize making it. Look out for it soon.
Very insightful.... bro. I’m starting my PhD this January and i will hit you on LinkedIn .
I wish you all the best with the PhD, Saeed. I look forward to your LinkedIn invite.
Thank you for this James! I've never heard of Mendeley, this will be very useful for me in the coming future ^-^
It's a pleasure, Chiko. Thanks for watching. It'll definitely become a need when you begin postgrad and research.
good presentation. keep it up!
Thank you
Really well explain. Maybe make a more in-depth one? Thanks
Thank you. I will consider that.
Thank you for this tutorial on features. It is something that I was searching for. Just want to know that which software do you use to read journal articles(pdf)- Adobe or Mendeley?
Hi, I almost solely use Mendeley for that. It has all the nice features for highlighting, taking notes, grouping pdfs, etc. I rarely open my articles directory in adobe reader since whatever changes you make on there are permanent.
Thank you so much for your lesson! i learnt alot :) but sadly I don't have the ' literature search' option in my desktop mendeley app.
It's a pleasure. Unfortunately, that feature has been removed from recent updates.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Tip 2 on watch folders is AMAZING, too bad it can't be used in some online storage, as people working in different devices may need that
Thanks, Irene. I hope someone figures that out :).
This is a very informative and practical guide. I am struggling to locate the "the Literature Search" section in the top left corner of Mendeley. My "Mendeley Desktop" is not having that button. Please help.
Hi Daniel, you may have to install the older versions of Mendeley. You can find some of them archived online. Mendeley removed those features from the recent versions.
Very useful sir. I have one doubt. Sir could you tell how to cite Wikipedia, data from google reference from talks, data from blogs etc
Hi, wikipedia usually provides the citation on the left hand side under "tools" -> "Cite this page".You can download the bibtex file for example and import it into Mendeley. You can also just grab the article using the Mendeley web importer (very useful and efficient). You can follow the same procedure for blogs and google articles. Download the Mendeley web importer and see the magic it can perform with just a single click.
Good job, James 👍 I use all of the features you explained in your video except the literature search function. I wish I had known this earlier 😀
I trust you sha. I'm not surprised. Hahahaha. I'm glad you learnt something new. Thanks for watching, and for the feedback.
Well explained. Sir, if a reference was done manually without using Mendeley or other referencing software, how do one convert the references using Mendeley?
Hi Peter, I honestly doubt there's an automated way to do it. You'll just have to painfully redo it with Mendeley but you'll be glad you did. Manual citation is really not the best and can lead to a lot of trouble.
Hi James, Great video. Just a new learner here. In Mendeley, how do we extract references from a file received from a collaborator? I understand adding more citations in that file using Mendeley will be straightforward once all its references are in my Mendeley library. Thanks
Hi Dr Zaman, if the file was created using Mendeley, you can try some of the answers provided here www.researchgate.net/post/How-to-extract-references-developed-by-Mendeley-in-Word-to-Mendeley-Desktop-database.
thank u I took benefit
I'm glad it was helpful.
Well explained.. I can not find most of the options in mendeley reference management especially literature research one in the latest release ...
is it different than desktop ??
which one is better ??
I just checked and realized that they have removed the literature search option from the latest version. If you still want it, it might be advisable to install the older versions.
You can find the older versions here mendeley-desktop.en.uptodown.com/windows/versions
Very informative tips. I have the Mendeley 1.19.8 version for MacBook, but it doesn't have a Literature search option. Any other options to get past that?
Thanks, Mitchell. I have provided a solution in the description. Please try that.
@@JamesAzam 🙀This might sound silly, but where will I find the description?
@@MitchellMessina That's fine. Right below the video here, I have provided some information and a link to the archived versions of Mendeley. I hope this helps.
@@JamesAzam Thanx
Thank you for this amazing lecture. I have a question. Is it possible to add a watch folder to a certain folder in Mendeley without putting it in All documents?
I would like to believe that the All documents folder is the central store for all the docs you add to Mendeley but I can't tell you whether what you're asking is possible unless you experiment it by yourself.
very informative tutorial but i can't find (literature research) icon on my Mendeley desktop.
I think it was removed in the latest versions.
My Mendeley app does not have the literature search option. Kindly comment on this. Again I would like to know how to get an aggregated notes I have made on my pdf(in Mendeley) at the bottom of the page for easy revision. Thank you.
The new version of Mendeley got those cool features removed. I suspect they want to monetize it in the future. You can find one of the archived old versions online and install it but never update it when the message pops up. You can always export a pdf with the notes/annotations. You just right click on the pdf and select "export pdf with annotations". A window will pop up that allows you to check/uncheck what you want to export. When you open the pdf, it will have numbered annotations and the notes will be at the end of the orginal pdf.
Hi. After I downloaded Mendeley i dont have the Lieterature Search on the left Panel. Only My Library and Groups shows up. What to do? Thank you.
I believe those features have been removed from the current version. Try the one listed here www.mendeley.com/autoupdates/installers/1.19.3 and never update it when the update window pops up.
mine Mendeley does not have any literature search icon. plz reply how to get it
Hi Rabia, I have commented on this in the video description. Please check it out.
Hi James. I cannot not find my literature search button now. Any help please?
Hi Martinson, the most recent version of Mendeley of Mendeley doesn't have that feature. It has been removed. You should check to see if you can download older versions. I am actually reluctant to update mine because I don't want to lose some of the old features.
Hi James, very informative and valuable tips for Mendeley. I have searched everywhere and need help, I use Mendeley for writing assignments and know how to add a citation and also create a bibliography at the end.
The question is: How do you link the IN-TEXT citation to the actual full reference in the bibliography so that the person marking the paper can click on the in-text citation and it goes to the correct reference page. There is nothing on how to do this? Hope you can assist me?
Hi Lara, unfortunately, I don't think Mendeley creates a hyperlink between the in-text citation and the listed one in the reference list. There are workarounds but very tedious. I know EndNote and the others automatically do that, though.
very good
Thanks
Hello sir.... I saved the files in pdf format by giving different names but when I cite the particular pdf to MS word then the reference is showing the file name like I saved one of my article name as G1 ..when I cite this article from mendely in MS word it also show G1,in the reference... It can't show the title or authors name in the reference in MS word....kindly guide me it's urgent
Please I am having an issue when click on Sync button. The following error message appear: Sorry, there was a problem syncing your library: Unable to send HTTP request to /oauth/token/ (0)
Please consider the following:
1. Is it possible that there's a network problem? Please check that. If so, please restart your computer at least.
2. You can check that you're using the latest version. If not, please update Mendeley.
3. If all else fails, reset your sync feature by hitting Ctrl or Cmd + Shift + D, and clicking on "Reset Last Sync State". Hopefully, these help.
I find the tap tip interesting, though I am yet to try it. I just noticed I don't have the search literature icon on my Mendeley interface, how do I go about it?"
In the recent releases of Mendeley, they've removed some of the nice features I captured in this video. You can download one of the archived versions online and never update it. That's what I'm doing currently. Follow this link mendeley-desktop.en.uptodown.com/windows/versions
Good video. Can Mendeley be used with like say online latex?
Thanks for watching, Edem. Actually, it can. You can pull your online Mendeley account into overleaf into a mendeley.bib file for referencing. Check here: www.overleaf.com/blog/mendeley-import-2016-07-18. If you're typing in LaTeX locally, you have to create a local BibTeX file on your desktop and link it to Mendeley, after which you can enable Mendeley BibTeX syncing to automatically update that local BibTeX file. You can then upload it to your online LaTeX platform like overleaf. The following link summarises what to do in this case: libguides.rhul.ac.uk/c.php?g=380520&p=4650349.
James Azam , very helpful Jim.
James Azam , make the basic video too!
@@danielkpormegbey1159 Thanks.
@@danielkpormegbey1159 I'll get right on it. Thanks for the feedback.
My Mendeley Desktop (1.19.8) has no "Literature Search" option. How can i insert it? Please suggest.
Hi Toriqul, mine is a similar version but has that feature. I'm not sure what is wrong or how I can help in this case.
same.no literature search in my mendeley!!
@@parag017 Try installing one of the older versions here mendeley-desktop.en.uptodown.com/windows/versions. I use version 1.19.4 and have refused to update it because the new version does not have those amazing features.
@@JamesAzam thanks for the insight. also i have emailed mendeley support.lets see wat they got to say.
Tips? Tricks? Just common mendeley functions. Weak
