It is a great software to save articles. It helps build folders, extra information from articles, sort by years, authors etc. It is a very useful way to organize research!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel I want a toolkit to learn how to use Mendeley most effectively. Despite the benefits mentioned above, there are many others like citation, reference manager etc. I don't feel there is a nice example for how to best use it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mendeley is a free referencing/citation software that allow you to store your references. You can download and install the desktop version that gives with more control and functions. It also provides some social network features that allow you to connect with other researchers and users. I can also import citation directly from the internet using Mendeley.

Some cleanup is required when importing research papers that are already in Adobe PDF format. Sometimes, you may need to update some citation details that were not captured when it was being imported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I truly enjoy how the program stores all documents, allowing me to place them in various folders. This is especially useful when working on multiple projects. I also enjoy how it connects well with Microsoft Word. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The program's ability to identify key information is lacking. Many times I have to manually update the author's name and other key information. This is especially important when relying on the program for citations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that it is a cloud based service and that I can highlight and add notes with any device that connects to the internet. The citation manager has also saved me A LOT of time with bibliographies. I also like that I can organize my pdf files by topic area or author. It also has a great way of searching for related literature on the papers you have uploaded into the system. I always read through the emails I get from Mendeley with recommended literature that is based on other files I have uploaded into the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There should be an auto-save/auto-sync option when using the software. Sometimes I forget to sync added files which means I can't access them on other devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mendeley allows me to import references directly from the search bar, as well as store pdf files and take notes on the files! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mendeley requires frequent updates. Sometimes I just want to get started using it and not worry about the latest update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It allow users to group the source documents, additionally, the ability to automatically pull all the data related to a document accurately and validate it with database entries makes this tool very useful. it also allows user to change referencing styles and reference documents fast and easily.

the word plugin need to open the standalone app, otherwise this app is both efficient and effective Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mendeley is really a good way to categorize research files. You can also use it to make a very good bibliography. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not so much, it is just a little bit complex and you have to use and use to understand how it is useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the way it interfaces with Chrome (the main software I use for finding new literature) and Microsoft Word (the main software I use to write) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is horrible at organizing the files and references. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mendeley is a program that from the first moment I used it seemed fantastic to me. In addition to being able to enter all the bibliography you have and the new articles it suggests based on those already entered, what I like most about Mendeley is the function of automatically entering the bibliography of an article in the format you prefer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main problem with Mendeley, in my opinion, is that when you enter an article from your bibliography into your database, it often does not recognize who the authors are or the title, and when you automatically enter the bibliography, there can be errors. Therefore, it is necessary to review it every time you add a document to your database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can choose what format to insert in-text citations along with the bibliography list at the end of manuscripts. I also find Mendeley's online search library is great as I can easily add references to my library from the online search if someone has included an entry for a particular paper in the past. I appreciate that Mendeley integrates into word fairly seamlessly. I also was able to add a Mendeley importer app on Chrome to more easily add papers I find online.

Mendeley can be prone to crashing at times. There are a wide variety of available formats to choose when adding entries manually but these are not always quite right for certain reports and other white papers or slightly less traditional formats. I also find that creating your own unique master formats is not very intuitive and it might be nice to have more support when doing this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
