I've recently decided to update all my documents' metadata using Mendeley's Google Scholar search functions.
Now, my library is completely messed up (we're talking ~400 documents here, around 4 years of research) because most of the journal names are truncated!
For example "Genes & Development" became "Genes & ...". Some other journals just became "..."
This is a major flaw, completely unacceptable from a software as big and as famous as Mendeley and I urge you to fix this as soon as possible.
I am currently writing my PhD thesis and my whole library is completely ruined. I wish I had never switched from JabRef which is apparently a much better and more mature tool.
That being said, may I ask you how I can fix this? Can I force a rescan of all the PDFs in my collection and get the metadata from there?
Manually going through 400 records and updating each and every journal title is completely out of the question. What's the best solution here?
Thank you.
