      Did your universities show you these programs? Mine didn't, and it's such a shame, lot of tedious work and time that could have been saved so easily. The ability to use this software really should become a part of the curriculum.

  • @UmarRuhi
    @UmarRuhi 4 года назад +60

    Great tutorial Derek! just a note that the "Literature Search" feature in Mendeley is based on a community crowd-sourced research database, and not the original publisher databases. The implication here is that we shouldn't depend on the source entries to be accurate or complete. Just thought I'd add this here for the benefit of your viewers.

    • @GradCoach
      @GradCoach  4 года назад +3

      Great comment, Umar. Yes, one should always double check all info in each entry to make sure its 100%.

    Hi Derek, great Teacher, Keep it up.
    Got two questions for you. 1. How do I remove "et al" from the reference list? Journals require all the authors to be listed, but Mendeley can only accommodate a maximum of three or four in some cases. 2. I have just formatted my thesis and I cannot add any more citations. Instead, am getting a message that " Citation/ Bibliography is wrongly placed in index area, please delete the placed citation/bibliography in index area"

I would like to use Vancouver (i.e. numbering citations in-text) with Harvard style reference list. How do I achieve this? I have 2 reference lists from merged documents (done manually) h ow can I merge these into the thesis reference list - with the Vancouver style. Hope that makes sense... Thoughts welcome.
