Displaying URL in bibliography exported from Mendeley
Mendeley recreates periodically the bib file, and then, modify manually the bib file does not work because it will be re-written. But here's a trick works just fine. At Mendeley Desktop:
- Change the document type (from that reference you want to get its URL included) from "Journal Article" to "Web Page" in the Details tab.
- Activate the "Medium" field for web pages (Tools > Options > Document Details)
- go back to the document details tab, and paste the URL (http://www.d...) at the newly visible "Medium" field. ... and that's it!! enjoy.
the explanation is that the "Medium" field in Mendeley is exported to the bib file as "howpublished = {http://www.d..." and then, this field is recognized and included by most bibliography styles. (credits http://www.bar54.de/2013/10/mendeley-webpage-entry-urls-in-bibtex-export/ )
Thanks for all the suggestions!
The solution for me, was to switch to using biblatex.
Having done this, I can see URL as follows
