2. Insert citations
Once installed, Mendeley Cite can be accessed via the 'References' tab on the Ribbon in Word.

Choosing and changing citation styles

If you need to use a custom citation style, you can upload your own style directly into Mendeley Cite

From here you can add values to specific reference attributes, provide a prefix/suffix and suppress the author name. Any edits you make will be applied within your document
