What’s New in Mendeley: November 2023

We are always working hard at Mendeley to release features that will make the researcher’s life a bit easier. Here we share what was new in Mendeley in November. 

Save time with Keyboard Shortcuts: 

Last month we released a few keyboard shortcuts. This month we have released a few more to help users better navigate Mendeley Reference Manager. Here is a list of a few more keyboard shortcuts that can help you save time in Mendeley Reference Manager: 

Action Shortcut 
Deselect single reference  /
+ mouse-click
Deselect a range of references between focused reference and newly selected reference 
+ mouse-click 
Deselect focused reference and references above   
Deselect focused reference and references below  

Easier organisation with the Unsorted Collection: 

When you have a large library, it can be hard to keep track of what collection a reference belongs to, and even harder to know whether a reference belongs to a collection at all. Which is why Mendeley Reference Manager has added a new smart collection that contains all references that do not belong to a user collection.

Drag and Drop Import into Personal Collections: 

Save time and cut out the middleman. Just like with the ‘All References’ smart collection, users can now drag and drop references from any folder, hard drive, or external storage into their user collections in Mendeley Reference Manager. 

Resize Table Columns: 

Customise your library experience with Mendeley Reference Manager; whether you want to see as much information as possible, or you prefer a summarised view, users can now resize their table columns to their preferences.  

These are just a few of the many features in Mendeley Reference Manager, that can help simplify your referencing workflow. Download Mendeley Reference Manager and Mendeley Cite today to see how they make researching simple.
