In order to use Mendeley applications you must first create a Mendeley account:
Warning: You are advised NOT to click on the link to sign in via your institution, organization or Athens. UCL does not have an institutional subscription to Mendeley and there are issues with users being unable to log in to Mendeley if they have created an account through this route.
Once you have created your Mendeley account, although you are prompted to download the new version of Mendeley, Mendeley Reference Manager, you can still choose to download Mendeley Desktop. Note that Desktop@UCL computers already have Mendeley Desktop installed.
You can only have one Mendeley library associated with your Mendeley account. You can organise your references using folders or tags if you wish to work with a subset of references from your library.
