Mendeley support¶

To specify that you want bibgen to use Mendeley as a bibliography database, passe the --mendeley option as command line argument.

The content of your Mendeley bibliography is accessed directly through the sqlite backup on your local computer, as found by the default_mendeley_database() function.

Each document of the Mendeley database must have a Citation Key field to be citable through bibgen. In Mendeley you can view and modify citation keys by having a look into the Details tab, typically on the right when you select a document. If it is not shown, you can go to Tools/Options/Document Details and enable it for the different document type it is needed.
