For my doctorate I need to list all names the first time I cite a paper then just the first author et al will do after that. Does anyone one know if I can set mendeley up to that automatically or will I need to do manually?
Thanks in advance!

I found that Mendeley added most (up to five?) authors upon first citation, and then after that I modified it manually to say et al. I'm not sure if there's a way to make it do this automatically, but amending it manually was quick so it wasn't an issue for me. These changes remained, unless changes to the bibliography itself which got deleted every time Mendeley refreshed.

Good thinking TreeofLife - I'll do that if there's not a sneaky way to do it!
