Does Mendeley support directly importing literature from web pages?

Yes, Mendeley supports direct import of bibliographic data from numerous scholarly web pages. This functionality streamlines the process of adding references to your library without manual entry. This capability primarily relies on Mendeley's browser extensions (Web Importer) for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. When you navigate to a relevant webpage, such as a publisher's article page, an abstract page in a database like PubMed, or a catalog entry on Google Scholar, the extension identifies bibliographic metadata. Clicking the Mendeley icon prompts the import of this data into your chosen library group. Accuracy depends on the completeness and correctness of metadata embedded within the page by its source. To implement this, install the Mendeley Web Importer browser extension and sign in. Visit a supported research article or catalog page, click the Mendeley icon in your browser toolbar, review the extracted details, select your target library group, and import. This feature significantly enhances workflow efficiency for literature collection and management during research projects.
