Mendeley has two types of platforms namely Web-based and Desktop-based. But, it requires users to sign up or register first before using this application. The benefit of having an account at Mendeley is that the data or paper that we put in Mendeley will be stored in the cloud. Therefore, it can be accessed through a computer or laptop or an application on a smartphone.

Here are the steps you need to do to install Mendeley:

Download and Install Mendeley

To download Mendeley, please visit Mendeley’s official website and select the Download menu. Mendeley provides three operating systems on PCs that are compatible with this software, such as Windows 7, 8 and 10 (Version 1803), macOS, and Linux.

Next, install the software that you have been downloaded. Then, wait for about one to 5 minutes until Mendeley has finished installing. Because it’s free, you don’t need to enter any serial key.

Insert citation button missing

Download

When installing the Mendeley word plugin, the Mendeley menu successfully appears in Microsoft Word. But when Microsoft Word was restarted, the Insert Citation button is missing. If you experience this, then you could try the following method:​[3]​

WordMac
  1. Click the File menu > Options
  2. Select Trust Center > Trust Center Settings ...
  3. Select Enable all macros then click OK
  4. Restart the Microsoft Word

But there is a risk using this method. If the Word file has a harmful macro script, it can have an impact on your computer. So you may need to check the file using antivirus before opening in Microsoft Word.

The api-ms-win-crt-stdio-l1-1.0.dll is missing

When installing the Mendeley Desktop, it completes successfully. But you may see an error when opening the Mendeley Desktop, such as “the program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-stdio-l1-1.0.dll is missing from your computer“.

If it is the case, then you need to download the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio as follows:​[4]​

  • x86: vc_redist.x86.exe
  • x64: vc_redist.x64.exe

Then install both of them. However, if your computer is 32bit, you may need to install only the x86 version.

Ms. Word crash/hang often when using Mendeley

This generally happens when you install the EndNote and Mendeley plugins on Ms. Word. If you have crash/hang issues when using Mendeley, try disabling EndNote:​[5]​

  1. Open the File menu in Ms. Word,
  2. Select Options then Add-Ins,
  3. In the Add-ins list, at the bottom, select COM Add-ins and then click Go,
  4. Uncheck EndNote Cite While you Write,
  5. Click OK.
