Creating library
Adding files for Citation and referencing Search literature through Mendeleys Literature Search
Manually add/import files Import PDF and Mendeley generates the citation data
Article also included in library for reading/ reviewing
Works well for most documents, older documents converted to PDF from other formats (scans, images) often fails to capture the required citation information. As a result manual correction/ update of data is required.
