  Hello Ozan, Aksel,

  We did add a set of new types since this ticket was first opened over 2 years ago, that is why this is listed as 'completed'. Please create a new thread if you want to request additional types.

  I have to agree with Aksel. This shouldn't be listed as completed, since it is not.

• Aksel Kargård Olsen commented  ·  October 11, 2011 23:47  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  Why is this listed as completed? the existing list is too short and the process of changing it nonexisting.

  I really need additional document types. This is the only reason I may be forced to leave Mendeley. Please add the types that are in zotero too such as blog posts, email communication, as well as tweets.

  Hello everybody,

  as you might have noticed this thread is marked "completed" by the admins, and Mustaqil wrote in his post that new requests should be filed separately. So why you guys don't consider voting on this one
  http://feedback.mendeley.com/forums/4941-mendeley-feedback/suggestions/374385-manually-manage-types-to-make-them-coherent-with?ref=title
  as people are discussing there to manually manage document types. There is also a new thread for more document types where users are compiling a list of requested types.
  http://feedback.mendeley.com/forums/4941-mendeley-feedback/suggestions/301288-additional-document-type?ref=title
  So in case you want your idea to be considered it'd be great everyone moves his/her request there.

  Important type of document is missed - books published in serials. Currently it is impossible to add book volume information into document details. I'd suggest to update 'book' and 'book section' document types with fields: 'volume', 'issue', 'series title' and others, which correspond to serial monographs.

  "Personal Communication" would be useful, as I think would something like "Conference Presentation" (as opposed to actual published "Conference Proceedings" or "Working Paper".

  I need
  -abstract
  - journal article supplementary info

• teacher jonathan commented  ·  February 18, 2010 11:05  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  Version 0.9.5.2 did add more types (thank goodness). Still, there's plenty of room for improvement. Please consider adding the following in the next version:

  audio recording
  email
  instant message
  forum post
  podcast
  video recording

  +1 for this.
  Also why some of the fields in the document types are always enabled? I use the automatic export feature of bib files and I don't need some fields like Files etc.
  This should be fully customizable by the user.

  Why don't you add a "what you want" document type ? Cause so many people want their own... it would be simpler

  Or add "Supplementary Material" (would be useful)

  Dissertation

• kijahanson commented  ·  July 15, 2009 12:24  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  I need 'government publications' and 'personal communication.' Cheers.

• frouke commented  ·  July 07, 2009 04:00  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  The new document types are great, though I am missing 'personal communication', 'digital/electronic' (downloaded or from e.g. CD) and user-defined document types.

  I agree! I understand we're trying to compile scholarly journal articles in this online networking site, but for my personal research, I need Mendeley to compile all my research sources which do not only include scholarly journal articles or working papers. In particular, could we also have the following types: newspaper, magazine, website, institutional report, and interview? Thank you!

• botswana.serengeti commented  ·  June 16, 2009 14:23  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  user defined fields and types would be very useful!

• sjschultze commented  ·  June 05, 2009 15:42  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  Agreed on this. The current list is very limiting. Why not add functionality so that users can add arbitrary document types? Also, will there be additional fields added in the next release? Certain things, like day of the month, are frustratingly absent. How do I cite a speech or presentation?
