Mendeley

There are occasions when you may need to add a reference manually, where it is not available from an online source.

• Click on the +Add new button, and then Add entry manually.
• Select the Reference Type from the drop-down menu.
• Fill in the fields accordingly, and click on: Add entry.

Auto completion:

• Entering either the ArXivID, or PMID or DOI will populate the form. (Note: earlier versions of the desktop app, only allowed DOI to be searched.)

• You do not need to complete every field, just add the information you need for citing the reference.
• You can later attach a file to a record, such as a PDF of the full text of the document.
