[@alivahedi8529]

Thank you for your great tutorial. I have a word document using refworks. I need to transfer to Zotero. I exported my articles to Zotero, but my previous citations created by refworks are not supported. What can I do?

[@mvtino1]

Very beneficial video. Do you need to wait until you're completely finished with your dissertation before having Mendeley create the ref. list or will it delete any duplicates?

[@msarwarkhan2578]

How to quote secondary source in Mendeley? Do we have to insert ( qtd. In or cited in) manually or is there a proper way?

[@TheZazouy]

Hi such a great tutorial! Thanks! But one question : my collegue share a group with me, why I can't see the star icon to indicate my favorite? Thank you :)

[@nidiaponte4378]

Thank you for your vídeo. I have a question, when you upload a PDF, means that we going to occupy cloud space, right? And we need to buy that space, right?

[@johannesconforti8830]

Super thanks

[@GradCoach]

Welcome

[@sitimukminatun6082]

Thanks, Grad, for great sharing. My problem is after making citation in the end of the sentence, I want to make a new sentence. However, my sentence is still in the box of citation. How to get out of this box? Thanks.
