• Choose style (e.g. Chicago Manual, American Psychological Association) and language.
• Press Insert citation.

How to install

Two installation ways are available:

• Put the folder with Mendeley plugin (it must contain the content of the src folder only) to ONLYOFFICE Document Server folder depending on the operating system:
  
  For Linux - /var/www/onlyoffice/documentserver/sdkjs-plugins/.
  
  For Windows - %ProgramFiles%\ONLYOFFICE\DocumentServer\sdkjs-plugins\.
  
  The plugins will be available to all the users users of ONLYOFFICE Document Server. No service restart is required.
• Edit the Document Server config to add the following lines:

  var docEditor = new DocsAPI.DocEditor("placeholder",  {
  	"editorConfig": {
  		"plugins": {
  			"autostart": [
  				"asc.{BE5CBF95-C0AD-4842-B157-AC40FEDD9441}",
  				...
  			] ,
  			"pluginsData": [
  				"https://example.com/path/to/mendeley/config.json",
  				...
  			]
  		} ,
  		...	
  	} ,
  	...
  }); 
  		  		

Important: when you integrate ONLYOFFICE Document Server with a 3rd-party storage, you need to use special connectors (integration apps). If you compile a connector from source code or create a new one, you can add plugins using Document Server config. If you use ready connectors (e.g. from ownCloud/Nextcloud marketplaces) adding plugins via config is not applicable.
