How to search for articles through DOI in Mendeley?

To search for articles using DOI in Mendeley, locate the search function and enter the DOI directly. Mendeley effectively retrieves the specific article linked to that unique identifier if it exists within its vast database. Ensure the entered DOI is complete and accurately copied from the source publication or database, including any prefixes like "doi:" or "https://doi.org/". DOI searches work effectively in both the Mendeley Desktop application and the Mendeley Web Library. Verify the DOI format; they are case-insensitive but require exact character matching. This method is primarily used to precisely locate known items. The primary value lies in quickly adding specific, verified publications to your library directly from a DOI, ensuring reference accuracy. Simply navigate to the library view in Mendeley Desktop or the "Add New" section online, paste the DOI into the search field, and click search or enter. Once found, follow the prompts to import and correctly assign the article to your desired collection, saving time over manual entry.
