MENDELEY REVIEW PDF

This allows for easy group collaboration on projects and the ability to find people working on similar topics. You can follow other researchers and stay up to date on their activity, similar to a Facebook newsfeed. In addition to being a reference manager, Mendeley is also an academic social network. One of the features Mendeley prides itself on is the ability to interact with other scholars. There is also a dedicated iPad app so you can read and annotate documents on a mobile device.

MENDELEY REVIEW PDF

There is a built in PDF viewer that allows you to highlight and add notes to your PDF documents. However, Mendeley allows further interaction with your documents. Mendeley also has a Microsoft Word plugin, which will auto-generate citations and bibliographies according to many different style guidelines. Organising references is just like Zotero, where you have your main library and various folders for different projects. They also have a browser plugin so you can easily save files and references you discover online.

You can drag and drop files into Mendeley or import existing libraries. You will never have that problem with Mendeley. Oftentimes, you can have a great piece of software, but the design is so bad it inhibits your ability to effectively use it. The layout is very modern and the user interface is intuitive. The creators have placed great emphasis on the design of Mendeley. But it is also a PDF editor and academic social network, allowing for group collaboration and networking opportunities. I refer to Mendeley as a service, rather than a product, since it provides you with so many features. Mendeley is a service which promises that and more. That is why it is so important for you to adopt a reference manager to help you keep track of all your references, documents and notes. Be sure to read our first post on Zotero!Дrowning in references? Writing a doctoral thesis can quickly become overwhelming.

This is the second instalment in our series on reference management software.
