To the people in academia out there: is it possible to create a bibliography with mendeley (or a citation program in general) when you only have half of the sources in there and half of these are incorrect and incomplete and all you have is 35 pages of last names with dates (some of which are misspelled)-

Or do you have to do that manually?

#this is not a rhetorical question #i am genuinely curious #because apparently my boss thinks I'm stupid for not being able to make her mess work #and i think she's stupid for expecting me to work with something like This #but maybe she's right and i could get a bibliography out of this if i wasn't so stupid?#so. how does it work?#or am i right in assuming that if you want a fully formatted and corrected bibliography you would have to #1st of all enter ALL sources you wanna use into mendeley and not only half of them #2nd spell everything correctly select the correct 'type' (journal article instead of book section eg)#3rd not leave any information out that would be relevant for your citation style (publisher eg)#please i'm going insane #(i know this won't get responses but whatever #i want to burn her 'bibliography' and everything she ever made me do
