"A useful reference tool with free cloud storage"
5/5
What do you like best about Mendeley?

Mendeley is free, easy to use and I like what they've done with the new user interface. It feels very polished and modern. I mainly use it for the convenience of cloud storage and syncing my research across multiple devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mendeley?

Mendeley's web importer is nearly useless to me. It takes forever to sign in and it does not pick up online research articles correctly in most cases, which results in me needing to add them manually anyway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Mendeley used to be great, now its been ruined by Elsevier."
0/5
What do you like best about Mendeley?

It's free, cannot be used offline anymore. Mendeley used to be great, it used to be available entirely offline, or you could use the handy built-in literature search tool. Neither of these features are available anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mendeley?

Everything great about Mendeley, from before the Elsevier acquisition, is gone. The application used to be entirely functional for creating in-text citations with the Word plug-in offline. Now, you must be signed in to your Mendeley account to use the Word plug-in. You can no longer work with your citations offline. Absolute rubbish; I will be finding a new reference manager and citation tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mendeley?

What do you dislike about Mendeley?

sometimes the references I pull from google chrome do not update on Microsoft Word and you need to sing out and sign in again to get an updated reference list Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best tool to handle all citations and references"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Mendeley?

Handling the references during manuscript writing is now quite easier with Mendeley software. We do not need to keep the track of the numbering of the references it auto-updates the order as per our citation.

Compatible with MS word. Just need to install MS-Word plugins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mendeley?

For some research papers, it cannot auto-detect the name of authors and journal names correctly.

The Formats like IEEE and APA were not strictly followed.

Loading of the manuscripts folders consumes much time.

Software crashes on the higher side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A comprehensive Citations and References Manager"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Mendeley?

What I like best about Mendeley is that both the online and offline versions work seamlessly and sync across devices without any problems. The installation package for PCs is very light and integrates readily with Microsoft Word. I also like the Google Chrome and Microsoft Word plugins, which allow me to quickly add a reference I found online and format citations automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mendeley?

Mendeley is not the easiest software to use; it is quite sophisticated compared to other tools I've used. Also, the sync storage allowed is limited, and it is a little difficult to attach files to citations within the Software. These challenges made me switch to another tool.
