  1. Add an "are you sure you want to insert bibliography" pop up box in the Mendeley MS Word add-in!

    The "insert citation" and "insert bibliography" menu items in Word are too close together. Accidental insertion of a bibliography takes up valuable time and can cause an error.

  2. Currently there is no feature for accessing the "sharing history" for each article when using Mendeley desktop.

    Currently there is no feature for accessing the "sharing history" for each article when using Mendeley desktop. Since the sharing feature is sometimes unavailable it would be useful to have a record of it, and of the message sent with it as well

  3. fix a spacing error in APA when there is no author.

    When I insert a bibliography into Word using APA format in Mendeley, the sources with no author appear without a space between the date and the publication. It appears as: "Title. (Date).Source. etc." instead of "Title. (Date). Source. etc."

  6. let us manually move where pieces of the citation are located

    I need to have date cited at end not in middle so If I could manually move that piece it would be helpful.

  8. Organize papers from reading mode

    It would be helpful to add an article to a spesific folder in my library when reading it instead of having to go back to library and find it there. I often have several articles open at the same time and it can take time to decide to which folder it belongs. This would save the effort of having to search for it again to organize it.

  15. Adding two or more of the same documents in one folder.

    Within the literature I use, I have pdf documents containing about a 100 different abstracts, therefore it would be nice if I could add two or more of the same documents in one folder. Now this is not possible, while I do need two different citations, because two of those abstracts in one pdf document are relevant.

    Oh and of course still the import of a lot of references at the same time from Pubmed would be a world of difference (I noticed this has been said before, but nothing has changed yet). Now I still need to use Refworks…

  16. Allow exporting of PDF files

    There is already present an export citation function. However, it would be nice to be able to export large numbers of files without having to collect them one by one.

  17. change note tab color when notes exist

    When glancing at a document's "Details" tab, the "Note" tab should be brighter / bigger / yellow or something if you have notes on that page, and smaller / dimmer if you don't have any notes.
