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:

  1. Change the document type (from that reference you want to get its URL included) from "Journal Article" to "Web Page" in the Details tab.
  2. Activate the "Medium" field for web pages (Tools > Options > Document Details)
  3. 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

Robin Cover. “XML and semantic transparency”. In: Cover Pages (1998). URL: http: //xml.coverpages.org/xmlAndSemantics.htmlhttp://www.citeuli ke.org/group/2308/article/1449562
