How to organize and export book information in Mendeley?

Mendeley facilitates efficient organization and export of book references through its library management tools. These functions enable systematic cataloging and seamless data extraction for academic use. Organization relies on consistent metadata entry, including complete author, title, and publication details. Utilizing folders and tags is essential for effective sorting. Export compatibility requires accurate and complete bibliographic information across formats. Key prerequisites are successful cloud synchronization and selecting a supported export format; common options include BibTeX, RIS, CSV, EndNote XML, and specific citation styles. To execute an export, select the desired book entries in your library, navigate to the "File" menu, and choose "Export". Select your preferred format (e.g., BibTeX for LaTeX, RIS for import elsewhere) and save the resulting file. This exported data is crucial for integrating references into word processors using Mendeley Cite/O Write, generating standalone bibliographies, sharing with collaborators using compatible reference managers, or populating databases. Formats like RIS and CSV offer broad compatibility.
