Select the BibTeX tab (Figure 3). Once there, tick the box labeled »Enable BibTeX syncing« and select one of the options you prefer, e.g. »Create one BibTeX file per collection«. This generates one .bib file for each folder you create in the Mendeley Desktop.

Autogenerate .bib file(s)

The next step is to create a folder where you will store all the articles or references pertaining to your manuscript. This will generate a .bib folder as per your settings in the preference menu. The first three lines are problematic, they must be deleted because comments are not allowed in this way.
