Connect Mendeley
Connect your Mendeley library and start chatting with your papers.
Connect Mendeley and your reference library becomes searchable in Anara alongside any PDFs you have uploaded, without re-uploading papers one by one. Use it when your references and collections already live in Mendeley. The sync is a snapshot at connection time, not a live feed.
Prompt
A clinical researcher in molecular biology starts synthesizing across a Mendeley collection organized by protein target.
Prompt
I have just connected my Mendeley library. My collection "CFTR Channel Function" contains thirty-two papers I have been collecting since my PhD program began.
Search across this collection and answer: what is the current state of the mechanistic evidence on how CFTR channel gating is regulated by phosphorylation? Specifically, which papers in my collection address the role of the R domain, and what are the main points of agreement and disagreement across those studies?
Cite the specific papers and passages for every claim. If any claim requires a paper not in my collection, tell me rather than filling the gap from your general knowledge.What to add to your library
- Required: a connected Mendeley account. Connect it from the Anara integrations settings before running the prompt.
- Optional: the specific collection to import, to scope the import to that subset.
- Optional: papers you uploaded directly that overlap with the collection. Anara searches both together without duplication.
What you get
- Your Mendeley collection as a searchable library in Anara.
- An answer to your first question, with citations to specific papers and passages.
- The same workflows as for direct uploads: synthesis, citation generation, claim verification, notes.
Follow-ups
Sync in newly added papers.
Prompt
I have added twelve new papers to my Mendeley "CFTR Channel Function" collection since the last import. Re-import the collection so Anara has the current version. Then tell me which of the new papers are most relevant to the question of R domain phosphorylation.Generate citations for the papers you used.
Prompt
Generate APA 7 citations for all papers in my collection that are referenced in the synthesis you just produced. Format as a numbered reference list.Tips
- Reimport after adding papers to Mendeley, or Anara will not see them.
- Scope questions to "my Mendeley collection" so results do not blur with directly uploaded papers.
- Records without attached PDFs import metadata only, with no passage-level citations. Attach or upload the PDF for claim checking.
- For collections over 200 papers, split your first question into sub-topics for better coverage.
