Mendeley: Using the legacy Cite-o-Matic plugin

How to create and use a Mendeley account at QMU

Choose a Citation Style

To change how the citations are displayed in your Mendeley Library View, in the Mendeley Desktop, Click View → Citation Styles → More Styles to search for more than 8,000 citation styles on Mendeley Desktop.

 

This Mendeley guide page will show you how to change the style of citations within your Word Document

The citation style you should choose is either:

  • Cite Them Right 10th edition - Harvard 
  • American Psychological Association 7th edition

Please note: The citations and references generated by the Mendeley styles may not be exactly the same as those on the Cite Them Right website. You should always check your citations and references against the style guide to make sure they are accurate.

Generating Citations with MS Word

Note: There is a slight difference with MS Word on Mac as the Cite-O-Matic will appear as its own toolbar.
