Our
institute started using
a Mendeley group for its publications recently. And a lot of my colleagues are using Word and EndNote. I use neither. My personal workflow includes LaTeX, BibTeX, and since recently
BibLaTeX, and
CiteULike (all content mirrored to
Mendeley). And recent
talk by Benjamin, I decided to give the Mendeley plugin for OpenOffice a go (in
LibreOffice, in fact). It does what it needs to do. I am not sure yet how to customize the display (the equivalent of, for example, unsrt), but not so worried about that personally. This screenshot shows what my test looked like.
Update: Steve explained in the comments that picking the right
CSL style does the job. The list of additions shows a download for
BMC Bioinformatics which will also work for other BMC journals like the
J. Cheminformatics, I assume. The result after making that CSL the default:
Hi Egon, thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteI'm one the devs working on the OpenOffice plugin at Mendeley.
You can have an un-sorted bibliography by choosing an appropriate citation style, e.g. IEEE.
Or, you can edit the citation styles as explained in my blog post: http://www.mendeley.com/blog/research-tutorials/howto-edit-citation-styles-for-use-in-mendeley/ This is not at all user friendly at the moment though, and we will work on a better workflow for style editing in future.
Hi Steve, thanx for getting back to me on this! I picked the BMC Bioinformatics style sheet (after downloading it) and that did the job. The LibreOffice plugin had a bit of struggle ending the dialog, crashes with a stacktrace, but the result looked fine! :)
