Using Mendeley from ONESearch

Download both the Mendeley Reference Manager and Mendeley Cite before you start. (You need both).

In ONESearch, click on the title of the article you want. In the record that comes up, look for the "Mendeley" button:

The first time, it may ask your permission to export. After that, it should automatically export into Mendeley.

To find it in Mendeley, open the Reference Manager. Select "Recently Added." You'll see your article!
