Mendeley also provides a Web Importer tool which allows you to import citations, and sometimes the full text article, directly from your browser in to your library.

For the past decade, Mendeley Web Importer has been vital for busy researchers, making it easy to add articles from across the internet to their reference library. Today, we’re pleased to announce an all-new version, with new features and a refreshed design. The new Mendeley Web Importer is available for both Google Chrome and Firefox. Visit the Firefox Add-Ons store and click 'Install'. If you see 'Remove from Firefox' then Mendeley Web Importer is installed, but it may be hidden in your toolbar. To view hidden extensions, click the hamburger menu in the top-right of the Firefox browser window. If you forget this step and try to use the Web Importer to import an embedded file, the importer will fail to detect the file. Click on the Mendeley icon near the top right corner of your browser window to open the web importer. Log in to Mendeley when prompted. A pop-up will appear containing information about your article.

To install the plugin from the Mendeley app click Tools >> Install Web Importer.

Depending on which browser you use the importer will be in a different location but regardless of the browser it will function the same.

The Web Importer is the best way to import records into Mendeley. Xnview for mac os x. It can be used to export all the records in a resultls list at one time, or an individual record from either the results list or the record's own page.
