Import PDF documents — When you import a PDF into Mendeley, it will try to extract information from the PDF to create a citation – author, title, year, volume, etc. You can do this by:
- Using the Add New button.
- Go to the File menu and select Add Files.
- Drag-and-drop PDFs from your computer to the Document Pane (the middle part of the window).

Choice of citation style. Mendeley comes with some citation styles, but it has hundreds of additional styles you can download by following the instructions on the CSL Citation Styles website.
