Pelatihan Mendeley untuk Meningkatkan Kualitas Karya Ilmiah Mahasiswa
Keywords:
Mendeley, Reference Management, Digital Literacy, Scientific Writing, Community ServiceAbstract
This community service program aimed to improve students‟ competence in
reference management using the Mendeley application to enhance the
quality of scientific writing. The activity involved 40 students and was
conducted through lectures, demonstrations, hands-on practice, and
evaluation stages. A pre-test was administered to measure initial
understanding of reference management and Mendeley usage. The results
indicated that only 27.5% of participants were able to create automatic
citations and bibliographies, while most students still managed references
manually. After the training, post-test results showed significant
improvement: 100% of participants were able to install Mendeley and
generate automatic citations and bibliographies, and 65% successfully
installed the MS Word plugin and Web Importer. The findings demonstrate
that structured training combined with direct practice effectively improves
students‟ digital literacy and academic writing skills. Therefore, integrating
Mendeley training into academic programs can support students in
producing higher-quality scientific work aligned with publication standards.
