Install the Citation Tool.

Ensure your word processor is closed before attempting to install the plugin.

Open the Tools Menu and select the appropriate option. Mendeley will detect which word processor(s) you have installed, so the options available to you may vary.

The citation tool installs very quickly and will confirm once it finishes.

The Mendeley citation plugin allows you to cite seamlessly without leaving your word processor. Save time writing papers by automatically generating your bibliography in a few clicks. The plugin is compatible with Microsoft Word and LibreOffice.
