![]() ![]() ![]() To find only research from an author “Bird”, you’d use the author operator like this. For example, searching for “bird” would return results about birds, but also from researchers named “Bird”. The main concept to learn is that search is controlled by operators, which are terms that make your search more specific. Understanding a bit about how the search works can help you get better results. In the future, you’ll be able to see journals to which your institution subscribes and content from hybrid open access journals (subscription journals with an open access option). For now, full text is available for articles from a fully Open Access journal and for those which the author has retained the rights and chosen to make available. You’ll be able to see whether or not the full article is available when you select the document. When you’ve got results, you can add them to your library by clicking the “Save” button that appears above the details pane on the right, or by simply dragging and dropping the article from the results pane to any folder in My Library or group that you’re a member of. Searching for people or groups will come to Desktop in a future release. You can limit your search to authors, article titles, publication names, year of publication, and to only open access publications. Selecting the magnifying glass shows you document options previously available on the advanced search page on Mendeley Web. Typing a query in this box works similar to how it works on Mendeley Web. Selecting the literature search tool brings up an empty search pane. There will be more discovery tools coming to this space, but for now let’s focus on how to use catalog search from Desktop. Where there was previously a division between My Library and Groups, there’s now a new section for discovery tools, hosting a literature search tool and Mendeley Suggest, our research recommendation service which learns about your academic interests and recommends new research specifically for you. With the latest release, you’ll see a new section in the folder tree in the left pane. For example, to search your existing collection of research, you’d use Mendeley Desktop, but to search for new research in Mendeley’s catalog, you would go to the website. We’ve always had the vision of Mendeley Desktop and Mendeley Web working as parts of a whole, but there have been some gaps, perhaps most notably how research discovery works. Also included in this release are a few improvements to how Mendeley Groups work, making it easier to collaborate with others using Mendeley. Often the most impressive thing about a new software release is infrastructural and not immediately apparent, but not this time! In our latest release, we have added one of our all time most requested features – literature search from Mendeley Desktop. ![]()
