Mendeley Cite: creating a bibliography
Once you have added some citations to your document you can create a reference list . Place your cursor at the end of your document where you would like your reference list to start and go to the Mendeley Cite add-in window (via the button the Word toolbar).
Select the ellipsis button (3 dots), menu, and select 'Insert Bibliography'.
The bibliography will be formatted according to the selected citation style.
Each time you add a citation or make changes to your citations, the bibliography will restructure itself accordingly. For example, if you are using a numbered style and you choose to insert new citations early in the document, the bibliography will also re-number itself.
Creating an independent bibliography in Word
If you wish to add an independent bibliography to your word-processed document, one for references not also cited in the text of your document, you must copy and paste references in Mendeley Reference Manager, one-by-one, as follows:
- Right-click the first reference you wish to copy
- A menu opens with Copy Formatted Citation as the top option; select the option.
- Open your word-processed document, and place the cursor where you want your bibliography to start.
- You will need to repeat the steps above to copy all the other references you are including in your bibliography.

DkIT Harvard Referencing Style
Mendeley lets you choose from various referencing styles. We recommend you use the 'Harvard - Dundalk Institute of Technology' style.
This needs to be installed in Mendeley Desktop before you can use it in Microsoft Word. Instructions are in the PDF below.

Create citations
For quick citations in most text editors, including Google Docs, select the paper you want to cite in Mendeley Desktop and click: Edit > Copy Citation. Then, paste it into the document you are composing.
Alternatively, you can drag and drop the paper from the Mendeley Desktop window to the document, and a reference in the current selected citation style will be added there.
Creating a Bibliography
Once you have your documents in Mendeley, you can cite and reference them within Word and OpenOffice by installing plug-ins. Once installed, you will have tool bar buttons that will allow you to cite a document, generate a bibliography, or manually edit any entry.
Go to Tools > Install... and select the plugin you wish to add.
- When creating a paper, click on Insert Citation in the toolbar to cite a document from your Mendeley Library.
- If you are using Word on Windows, a box will appear allowing you to search for references by author, title or year (note that this is only available for Microsoft Word for Windows at the moment; for Word on Mac or OpenOffice, skip ahead to the second-to-last step).
- When you find the reference you want to cite, click OK and you're done. You can cite multiple references by using semicolons to separate them.
- If you prefer to find references using Mendeley Desktop, press the "Go to Mendeley" button beneath the search box, which brings up Mendeley Desktop. Then select the document in Mendeley Desktop, and click Send Citation to MS Word (or OpenOffice). Again, you can cite multiple documents. Just hold the Ctrl key and left click the documents you want to cite.
- Your citation will be sent to your word processor. You can select your preferred citation style in the drop down menu in your word processor.
- Now you can generate a bibliography by clicking Insert Bibliography.
