·  When you are finished adding citations, click OK.

· When your paper is complete, click on the spot where the bibliography should start and then on Insert Bibliography.

·  Notice that you are able to choose the desired citation style above the Insert Bibliography icon. If the style you need isn’t listed, click on More styles.

Before sending an electronic file of a document created with Mendeley, you will probably want to remove the Mendeley links. 

To do that, from your document, 

• click on Export as Without Mendeley fields. (found in the References tab, Mendeley section, to the right of Insert citation).
• A pop up window will appear with a suggested name, you can change the name of the document before saving but it should be different than the name of the document with Mendeley links.
