Creating a bibliography is easy in Mendeley
04/03/2025
If you’re using Mendeley Cite, Mendeley’s citation plug-in for Word, you will soon be ready to generate a bibliography of all the references you have cited. Here we’ll run through how quick and easy it is to do this. If you haven’t yet installed the Word plug-in, read our post here on how to set it up.
To insert your bibliography:
- In your document, position your cursor exactly where you wish to create your bibliography.
- Click on the three dots on the top right of the Mendeley Cite column. Click on ‘Insert Bibliography’
3. Your bibliography will be created in the citation style you have chosen.
If you need to change the citation style at any point, click on Citation settings and choose from one of the 100’s of pre-set styles available within Mendeley. There are two styles of referencing used at Cranfield: APA7 and NLM check out our Referencing & Plagiarism page for more information.
Need to insert more citations after you’ve created your bibliography? Don’t worry. You can continue to add more citations at any time. Your bibliography will automatically update to include the new citation, and re-order itself.
If you have any questions about using Mendeley, contact the Library Service.
