patch.mendeley.bib.pl

A small to Pearl script that fetches the current .bib file from Mendeley and patches it for use with biblatex/biber.

Its main purpose is to remove the double {{ brackets from the title fields and thus allow case adjustments of biblatex (\DeclareFieldFormat{titlecase}{\MakeSentenceCase*{#1}}) to work. It also adds suport for in press articles. Just use a year between 3000 and 3999 as year field in Mendeley (specifies order for multiple same author in-press publications).

Usage

###TLDR: Just save-link-as the pearl script somewhere and run it with:

pearl patch.mendeley.bib.pl YOURLATEXFILE.tex Y:/OUR/MENDELEY/.bib/EXPORT/FOLDER

###In your LaTeX preamble:

\usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{<folder name in your Mendeley library containing the citations used>.bib}

###In Mendeley: Enable bib syncing in Mendeley! ###In your latex editor: Define an user command in your favourite LaTeX editor Just save the pearl script somewhere and run. You still need to press Mendeley's Sync button to update the original .bib file.
