Installation Guide for Mendeley Desktop for Mac OS X. #Ms word plugin mendeley mac downloadĭouble-click Mendeley Desktop in your browser's download window. One of the great built-in features in Mendeley is without a doubt the citation plugin for your word processor of choice. We currently support most of popular word processors such as MS word (Mac and Windows), OpenOffice, Neo Office, and Libre Office. We’re continuously working to improve the efficiency and general user interface of this plugin because we feel it is an important component within Mendeley Desktop and your overall research workflow. That being said, I’d like to touch on a small aspect that many Mendeley citation plugin users are probably unaware of.
If you add multiple citations at the same time, the appropriate citation style is used for such situations. For example, if you were citing 3 articles and they were the 3rd, 4th and 5th citations added, they’d probably be added as follows 3-5 (if using a numeric inline citation style format like “Nature Genetics”.). However, if you went in to the document and wanted to add another reference in that bundle, it would show up as 3-5 6. Quick solution? Delete the citations and add all four together.
