          • Veterinary journal citation styles

            There are a lot of citation styles in the veterinary journals which are not included - these would be very helpful!

                  • Allow “Notes” to stay up in a PDF tab once I click away.

                    I notice that the “notes” tab will NOT stay up in an open PDF tab once I click away (e.g. to another PDF or the main screen). This is very annoying when I have multiple PDFs open and want to cycle thru and compare notes. Once I select "notes" I will like that to stay open until I either select "details" to close the PDF.

                        • Add a search option "Filter by Authors" window. Possibly other filters.

                          This would allow you to narrow the filter by entering the first 2 or 3 letters of the author of interest. It would be much cleaner than the author search from the main search window, while still having both methods available for those with personal preferences of how they search by author. Some kind of advanced option would be great here.

                            A function that when we highlight words on a journal and run a Google search on those terms by right clicking our mouse and selecting the "search web for" menu item. This contextual search a great tool when we need to find about the terms in the internet.

                            Similiar with firefox's ConQuery tool.

                                • Context-sensitivity: simultaneous use of in-text and footnote citations with different styles

                                  Some citation styles use in-text citations AND footnote citations simultaneously. Both contexts need to apply different styles, e.g.:

                                  "In text in text in text (Author Year). In text in text[Footnote 1]"
                                  [Footnote 1: "Footnote text Author (Year): Title. Container. Pages].

                                  For this, the Word processor plugin needs to be context-sensitive to the place a citation is pasted, either in-text or a footnote.

                                    • Mendeley desktop fetch directly from arXiv

                                      It would be great if Mendeley desktop can directly fetch entries from websites like arXiv, spires, etc., by, say an arXiv ID.

                                      • Relative path, citation keys and file names

                                        1. Use relative path for the PDF files. The paths for the PDF files in the metadata should be relative to the "copy files to" path.

                                        2. Provide the option to automatically personalise the citation keys, just like we can rename the files. It is not good to edit them one by one. We need it to be done automatically with some rule.

                                        3. Put the first page number in the choice options when we rename the files and personalise the citation keys.

                                        4. As mentioned by others, use the citation keys to rename the files.

                                        • allow editing of biographies manually

                                          Upon importation of a citation, if an annotated bibliography were needed; these citations should be able to be removed from their highlight so that they could be modified, without risking the loss of all the data input in the paper
