Quick 10 Min Video for Mendeley App for iPhone and Android

A quick Video to get you up and running on the reference app for MENDELEY.
This guide is designed to help you get the most out of Mendeley’s app for iOS devices, whether you’re new to Mendeley or a long-time Desktop user.

We’ve designed our app primarily for reading and annotating your papers on the go, but as you’ll see it does a lot more too. While tablets offer the best reading experience, all functionality is available on your phone too.

At present we recommend Mendeley for iOS as a companion app to Mendeley Desktop, which is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Mendeley is a free referencing and academic social network software. It allows you to collect,
manage, store, share and use research papers and articles, as well as generate bibliographies in the
citation style of your choice. It can be used with MS Word to add citations as you type as well as
compile a reference list at the end of your assignment. It is useful for researchers who manage a
significant number of journal articles and research papers in their studies, but is not essential for
smaller assignments. Note as Mendeley is a free software the university cannot bear any
responsibility for loss of access to references or any subsequent monetization of the service by its
owners.
How do I use it?
Mendeley can be used on your desktop, on the web, on your phone or other device and as a Word
plug in. It depends on what your need is and how you plan to use it.
• Web – The web version is great for storing, organising and annotating full text PDFs* within
your own personal library.
• Desktop – The desk top version is essential if you plan to use the bibliographical data to cite
as you write or create a bibliography.
• App – The app version is perfect for accessing and reading PDFs saved in your personal
‘library’ whilst on-the-go.
• Word plug-in - The word plug in allows you to seamlessly cite as you write using the
citation style of your choice.
