Citation Management Software

Mendeley is a citation manager that specializes in science-related citations. It is an Elsevier database, which means that it connects well with Science Direct.

This page contains information on how to set up an account, how to export citations from Science Direct to Mendeley, and how to import citations from other managers (such as RefWorks). 

Note: These instructions are for the import process using the Mendeley desktop application.

1. Open the desktop Mendeley Reference Manager application

2. Select '+ Add new'

3. Choose 'Import library >' and select .bib or .ris, depending on the file type exported from RefWorks (steps detailed here)

4. Select the file you exported from RefWorks to add its contents to your Mendeley library and click 'Open'.

5. You can select ‘Recently Added’ to view the newly added citations

For additional assistance, visit Mendeley's guide on adding references.
