Mendeley Reviews & Product Details

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.

Sometimes the PDF viewer feels a bit clunky compared to PDF readers. 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.

The add-ons for the web browser and Microsoft Word allow us to quickly add our references and automatically format the citations, as well as change the citation style at any time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It presents problems when a new reference is added, it has to be synchronized manually in the application, which takes time and this is not done automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used Mendeley for my thesis, and it has been amazing to use. The multi-devices support along with syncing capabilities is efficient to work with. Integrations with MS Word is easy as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The refresh button needs to be pressed everytime you need to resync when using a live connection and the newly add doesnt directly show. Other than that its great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can use Mendeley Desktop for citation management. Mendeley Reference Manager, Mendeley Web Importer, helps with citation and referencing. The best about Mendeley is it is easy to use. I can give a reference of the website with Mendeley Web Importer. It is the best feature of Mendeley because manual referencing is not hassle-free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing that doesn't work well from my point of view. I think everything is okay. The user interface can be better. Besides, institutional access should be included in the software. If the search feature is added in Mendeley, it will be time efficient and more effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The program allows the organization of text files and bibliographic references, enabling them to be used for various purposes, such as reading (annotations, markings, etc.) and also in information management for research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since March 2021, the mobile versions of the application (Android, iPhone, and iPadOS) have been removed, leaving only web access, which allows reading but does not work as well as the applications. Since September 2022, the "Desktop" version of the application has been discontinued, not allowing download from the official site. When compared to the "Reference Manager" version, the versions are quite similar. The main advantages of the "Reference Manager" version are automatic cloud synchronization and a more modern and attractive interface. However, this version still presents some issues such as: the keyword search tool does not work as well (sometimes I need to open Mendeley Desktop to locate a specific keyword); it no longer has the PDF organizer (an option from the Desktop version that allowed saving all PDFs added to the program in a specific folder, saving the files according to criteria such as author, year, journal, among others).

I like it has several citation styles, is also a reader, that I can organize my text books and the amount of time saved doing bibliographies is just huge! ALso I like the sync options with the desktop version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When metadata on pdf is not accurate, and the software fills up that with random info, generating very weird citations, would like to have a easier way to fill correct data in documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how you can automatically create works cited pages within a word document that you have cited using mendeley. In general, the best part of Mendeley is its integration with MS word. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, syncing between devices is imperfect. As of 2022, they have stopped supporting the desktop application and mobile app, as a result, this will likely result in me switching away from Mendeley and to another software such as Zotero Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
