Mendeley would not usually be considered as the best choice of software for a full systematic review. Especially if your review involves downloading a large number of references, or you are planning on publishing your review, we would recommend using EndNote software for your review instead of Mendeley. It is much more transparent about which items are identified as duplicates and has much greater flexibility relating to checking and  removing duplicates . This is likely to significantly reduce the risk of accidentally removing items that are not duplicates and is more thorough when working with large sets of references.

Mendeley is only suitable for systematic reviews if you have the desktop version already downloaded, as the replacement, Mendeley Reference Manager offers only a very limited deduplication option. Mendeley Desktop is no longer available to download for new users and will only be available on UCL computers or on your own device using  Desktop@UCL Anywhere  for a limited time. 

Make sure you are aware of the reporting requirements for the methodology of your review and check that Mendeley will be suitable for providing the data  required for that before you start using Mendeley for your review. 

Below is detailed a step by step process for using Mendeley for your review.

Backing up your Mendeley library

Adding references to your library.

  • Removing duplicates

Screening references

It's recommended to keep backing up your Mendeley desktop library as you add new sets of references by syncing it with the online version of Mendeley. 

  • Synchronising web and desktop

For each source you search, create a folder in Mendeley where you will add these references to your library.

Export the references from each source in turn to the appropriate folder in your Mendeley library.

  • Exporting references to Mendeley desktop

Make sure you record the number of references exported from each database before you import the references into Mendeley, as when you add references to your library it will start removing references it recognises as duplicate references. In practice this means while you might export 50 references from a database, there may only be 45 appearing in the folder if some are duplicates. 

It can also be useful to  tag  all references in the folders with the name of the database or other source so you can tell which database the reference was originally downloaded from. To do this, highlight all items in the folder and edit the reference that is open in the right hand pane by adding the name of the database or other source to the tag field, e.g. Medline. This will update all of the tag fields in references in that folder. 

Once you've added your references to your Mendeley library from all your sources, drag all the records from each of the individual folders into another new folder, from which you will remove duplicates. Mendeley may recognise and remove additional duplicates at this stage, so you may find the number of records in this folder does not total the number in your individual folders.

Now use Mendeley's  duplicate checking tool to find the remaining possible duplicates. Click on the folder that includes all your references for your review to do this.

Make sure that you check the duplicates thoroughly by clicking to expand the reference sets before merging them. After you have merged all the duplicates, it is recommended to do a final manual check for duplicates on the folder containing all your references, by clicking on the title column of the central pane to order them alphabetically.

If you're working with multiple reviewers to screen your references and want to use a reference management software to do so, we recommended using EndNote, following the methodology linked on our EndNote guide.

If you are planning to use reference screening software such as Rayaan or Covidence, however, it is possible to export your references from Mendeley as a RIS file, though please note this will export all references in your Mendeley library. The same methodology can be followed as for the instructions on our EndNote guide. It is also recommended to deduplicate references in Mendeley before transferring them to a screening software.

  • Exporting your Mendeley library as a RIS file
  • Exporting your library to screening software The same instructions for EndNote can be followed once you have exported your library as a RIS file.
  • Screening references within EndNote

The primary users of Mendeley are professionals who have been published, lecturers in various scientific fields, researchers, librarians, and students.

Upload and Annotate

Mendeley users can upload articles from databases as well as online sources (with the use of a bookmark add-on). Yet, there are limitations to what popular sites Mendeley can upload from. It will only upload articles from supported sites. Users can also drag and drop PDFs into the citation manager. Once in Mendeley, articles can be annotated and highlighted.

Word Processor Integration

Mendeley offers a citation plug-in for Microsoft Word, LibreOffice and BibTex for the ability to cite while writing.

Installation Required?

Desktop installation is not required, but is available for Windows (7, 8.1, 10), macOS and Linux. Mendeley can be used in a browser and there are add-ons to help import articles from supported websites. There is a free mobile app for both android and apple devices. ( https://www.mendeley.com/download-desktop/ )

Collaboration Features

All Mendeley users can create groups and collaborate on research. Each plan (including the free plan) allows users to create 1 private/invite-only group with three members and up to 100 MB shared space (around 30-40 articles). Additional group plans are available for groups if more space or members are needed. ( https://guides.library.pdx.edu/c.php?g=474937&p=3249935 )

Price to Students

There are four versions of Mendeley. There is a free option available with upgrades that provide additional storage space. The free version gives users 2 GB of cloud storage. The Plus plan is recommended for students; it costs $4.99/month and allows up to 5 GB of personal library space. The Pro plan, Mendeley’s most popular plan, costs $9.99 a month and provides more storage (10 GB personal space). Unlimited storage space is available for those with the Max plan, which costs $14.99 a month. (https://www.mendeley.com/settings/upgrade/)

Screening software

Referencing software such as Endnote  (link opens in new window) , EndnoteWeb  (link opens in new window) , Mendeley  (link opens in new window) or Zotero  (link opens in new window) .

Systematic review screening software such as Covidence (requires you or your department to purchase a subscription; link opens in new window) or Rayyan (most features free; link opens in new window). There is a good guide to using Rayyan  (link opens in new window) produced by Carrie Price, Health Professions Librarian at Towson University.

Our top tips guides and tutorial videos  (link opens in new window) will help you use these various pieces of software. The Medical Library also runs training sessions on using referencing software:

  • Endnote  (link opens in new window)
  • Mendeley  (link opens in new window)
  • Zotero  (link opens in new window)

Best practice for screening

Screening large numbers of articles can be complicated and time-consuming. It is a good idea to establish a well-structured, clear process for all reviewers to follow. This journal article: Best practice guidelines for abstract screening large-evidence systematic reviews and meta-analyses (link opens in new window) suggests some best practice processes to follow when screening for a systematic review.

'Too many' results?

Systematic review searches will typically yield thousands, or even tens of thousands of search results. Of these, it is likely only a small handful will be relevant and ultimately included in the review. This journal article:  Precision of healthcare systematic review searches in a cross-sectional sample  (link opens in new window) finds that on average most systematic reviews only include 3% of all results found in the search, with the majority being discarded at the screening stage. This is why it's so important to have robust screening criteria, and a well-organised system for doing the screening.

After you have completed your database and grey literature searches, and identified other papers through hand-searching, you will need to screen the titles and abstracts to determine if they meet the criteria for inclusion. These criteria should be pre-defined (i.e. stated in your protocol before you begin the searches). Inclusion criteria might relate to the following:

  • Date range of publication
  • Study design type
  • Whether a study focuses on your specific disease, condition, or patient population
  • Whether a study focuses mainly on your specific intervention
  • Whether a study took place in a certain country or hospital context

This list is not exhaustive, and there are many other inclusion criteria you may wish to use. It is important that they are stated clearly in the Methods section of your protocol and systematic review, and that all co-authors understand them.

Generally articles are screened against these criteria independently by at least two authors. Initially you should screen the titles and abstracts, which will leave you with three groups of articles: Include (those which meet all inclusion criteria), Exclude (those which do not meet at least one of the inclusion criteria) and Doubt (those for which it is unclear from their title and abstract if they meet all inclusion criteria). Once you have screen the titles and abstracts in this way, the full text for each article in the Doubt group should be obtained, and the same procedure applied. Therefore, at the end of the screening process you will be left with two groups of articles: Include, and Exclude.

PRISMA flow diagram

When writing up your systematic review, you will need to include a flow diagram indicating the number of papers found, and the number removed after various stages of screening. There is a standard PRISMA template for this diagram, and an online tool  (link opens in new window) you can use to generate PRISMA flow diagrams.

Title: large language models for cyber security: a systematic literature review.

Abstract: The rapid advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs) has opened up new opportunities for leveraging artificial intelligence in various domains, including cybersecurity. As the volume and sophistication of cyber threats continue to grow, there is an increasing need for intelligent systems that can automatically detect vulnerabilities, analyze malware, and respond to attacks. In this survey, we conduct a comprehensive review of the literature on the application of LLMs in cybersecurity (LLM4Security). By comprehensively collecting over 30K relevant papers and systematically analyzing 127 papers from top security and software engineering venues, we aim to provide a holistic view of how LLMs are being used to solve diverse problems across the cybersecurity domain. Through our analysis, we identify several key findings. First, we observe that LLMs are being applied to a wide range of cybersecurity tasks, including vulnerability detection, malware analysis, network intrusion detection, and phishing detection. Second, we find that the datasets used for training and evaluating LLMs in these tasks are often limited in size and diversity, highlighting the need for more comprehensive and representative datasets. Third, we identify several promising techniques for adapting LLMs to specific cybersecurity domains, such as fine-tuning, transfer learning, and domain-specific pre-training. Finally, we discuss the main challenges and opportunities for future research in LLM4Security, including the need for more interpretable and explainable models, the importance of addressing data privacy and security concerns, and the potential for leveraging LLMs for proactive defense and threat hunting. Overall, our survey provides a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art in LLM4Security and identifies several promising directions for future research.

SYSTEMATIC REVIEW article

The view of synthetic biology in the field of ethics: a thematic systematic review provisionally accepted.

  • 1 Ankara University, Türkiye
  • 2 Department of Medical History and Ethics, School of Medicine, Ankara University, Ankara, Türkiye, Türkiye

The final, formatted version of the article will be published soon.

Synthetic biology is designing and creating biological tools and systems for useful purposes. It uses knowledge from biology, such as biotechnology, molecular biology, biophysics, biochemistry, bioinformatics, and other disciplines, such as engineering, mathematics, computer science, and electrical engineering. It is recognized as both a branch of science and technology. The scope of synthetic biology ranges from modifying existing organisms to gain new properties to creating a living organism from non-living components. Synthetic biology has many applications in important fields such as energy, chemistry, medicine, environment, agriculture, national security, and nanotechnology. The development of synthetic biology also raises ethical and social debates. This article aims to identify the place of ethics in synthetic biology. In this context, the theoretical ethical debates on synthetic biology from the 2000s to 2020, when the development of synthetic biology was relatively faster, were analyzed using the systematic review method. Based on the results of the analysis, the main ethical problems related to the field, problems that are likely to arise, and suggestions for solutions to these problems are included. The data collection phase of the study included a literature review conducted according to protocols, including planning, screening, selection and evaluation. The analysis and synthesis process was carried out in the next stage, and the main themes related to synthetic biology and ethics were identified. Searches were conducted in Web of Science, Scopus, PhilPapers and MEDLINE databases. Theoretical research articles and reviews published in peer-reviewed journals until the end of 2020 were included in the study. The language of publications was English. According to preliminary data, 1453 publications were retrieved from the four databases. Considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 58 publications were analyzed in the study. Ethical debates on synthetic biology have been conducted on various issues. In this context, the ethical debates in this article were examined under five themes: the moral status of synthetic biology products, synthetic biology and the meaning of life, synthetic biology and metaphors, synthetic biology and knowledge, and expectations, concerns, and problem solving: risk versus caution.
