How to start your Mendeley profile?

Author:

In my post yesterday I summed an update on my Mendeley account. It has been valued as one of strong scientific community. And here’s how to start one.

  1. First sign up then complete your profile.
  2. If you already have a google scholar (GS) account then you’re half way there. Just go to your GS account, check little box beside “Title”. Click icon “three lines”, then choose menu “Export”, then choose “Bibtex”.

GS will store all your papers in “*.bib” that you can import later from Mendeley Desktop using “File > Import” menu. Then sync your local library with your cloud library.

Done. Easy isn’t it. Good luck.
