Mendeley is a cross-platform application (Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone) that helps researchers manage and annotate their scientific paper collections. Researchers can also set up collaborative projects, work and discuss in groups, and share data on Mendeley’s web platform.

Mendeley users’ research paper collections are anonymously pooled on the web platform, creating a crowdsourced research database with a unique layer of social information – each research paper is connected with socio-demographic informa-tion about its audience. This data is made available to the public via Mendeley’s API, enabling research groups to build applications on top of it.

Key Features

Scenario 1:

Use Mendeley as a free & flexible reference management tool

Using the automatic metadata extraction, various import filters (BibTeX, RIS, EndNote XML), or the Web Importer, you can easily set up your own library of scholarly articles and other academic resources. You can full-text search, read, tag, and annotate your papers and create citations using different citation styles.

Keep your lab computers, home comput-ers, laptops and mobile devices in sync with your private Mendeley Web account. You can also access and manage your resources from everywhere through a web browser or via Mendeley’s iPhone app.

In addition, you can discover interesting statistics about your article collection and the most read articles, authors, and publi-cation outlets in your discipline.

Scenario 2:

Collaborate with colleagues or create public reading lists

Mendeley lets you and your colleagues create and maintain a common literature and references database for your research projects.

Simply set up a group in Mendeley Desktop and add relevant sources by drag & drop. Group members will now have synchronized access to the files and will be able to search, tag, edit, and annotate them in Mendeley Desktop, so you can collaborate more productively. Your personal Mendeley newsfeed will then show you relevant updates.

You can also set up reading lists of references quickly and easily and let others subscribe to them, and you can even embed parts of your library in other websites (e.g. at your university).
