To enable BibTex syncing with Mendeley, you'll need to use a third-party tool. Mendeley itself doesn't directly support BibTex syncing. Here's how you can do it:
Using Zotero Connector
- Install Zotero: Download and install Zotero from their official website: https://www.zotero.org/
- Install Zotero Connector: Open Zotero and go to "Tools > Add-ons". Search for "Mendeley Connector" and install it.
- Connect Mendeley and Zotero: Open the Zotero Connector settings and enter your Mendeley credentials.
- Enable BibTex syncing: In Zotero, go to "File > Export" and select "BibTeX" as the output format. This will export your references in BibTex format.
- Sync with your BibTex file: You can now import this BibTex file into your LaTeX editor or any other software that supports BibTex.
Using Other Tools
Besides Zotero, there are other tools you can use to sync Mendeley with BibTex, such as:
- Mendeley Desktop: While Mendeley Desktop doesn't directly export to BibTex, you can export your references as a "RIS" file and then convert it to BibTex using online converters or dedicated software.
- BibTex Importer: This is a plugin for Mendeley Desktop that allows you to import BibTex files directly into your Mendeley library.
Remember that each tool might have its own specific steps and settings. Refer to their documentation for detailed instructions.
