Mendeley Reviews & Product Details

I love that Mendeley is free and it's very easy to use. I can organize my citations in folders, and it's great that I can open each PDF to highlight and add notes. The customization options are a big plus too. I appreciate that it makes managing citation styles super simple, letting me change styles like AMA, APA, or Harvard with just a single click. The way it automatically updates citations in real time is very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really would love to add the DOI numbers directly from the add-ons in Microsoft Word, not from the Mendeley app itself. I'd like to do this from the add-ons, like to add the reference that I would be searching directly from Microsoft Word. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use it almost every day for reading and managing references. It is by far the most user-friendly reference manager I’ve encountered—intuitive to set up and immediately productive. The official website offers strong support, and the large, active community is always willing to help. It also allows for great flexibility: it’s easy to create a personalised workflow using various tools and approaches to suit the task at hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One limitation of the application is that it does not display all the folders or collections in which a reference is located. This can make organisation and navigation more difficult in complex projects. Additionally, the application would benefit from deeper integration with other productivity and knowledge management tools such as Obsidian or Notion, to better support connected and flexible research workflows.

Mendeley is so easy to maintain, store, and cite research papers. It saves so much time with the ability to auto extract metadata from PDFs and seamless integration with Word for citations. I especially enjoy the citation generator, cloud syncing, and browser plugin, all helping to centralize my academic sources and streamline my workflow. Natural interface, device-to-device access, and group work collaborative folders make it an effective instrument for solo research and team work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. In the new update, they missed a duplicate publication finder option, but now they have it in the update, so I am happy about everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mendeley allows me to sync my libraries across multiple devices. I can annotate PDF files directly on the platform to either underline text, add margin notes or make comments that I can then use for reference in classes. One feature I take great advantage of is the Word add-in that makes it easy to insert citations and generate bibliographies automatically to save time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although Mendeley automates many tasks related to citation management, maximizing its usefulness requires a solid knowledge of academic citation standards. Without that foundation, it can be confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
