And you need very precarious hacks to get annotated Journal names. I want to standardise on particular name and Journal formats, but no way to edit the database robustly. The desktop app doesn't allow me to fill in missing information by doing a DOI search, but forces me to manually add info unless its first PDF scan was OK. Its bookmarklet is much weaker than citeulike's, with no clear tagging autofill and a worse workflow. Mendeley used to sync with citeulike, but it has changed its API and this no longer works. With Connotea closing down, I switched to citeulike and Mendeley to keep my discovered scientific articles up-to-date. It's extremely versatile and has the best support I have ever experienced by any software company.

For citations and bibliographies I recommend Bookends. For this reason I give Mendeley only 1 star. You can do it manually by copy and paste, of course, but who would want to do that? Zotero doesn't have this glaring omission. If you use other and better word processors such as Nisus Writer Pro, Mellel or Scrivener, you're completely out of luck: there seems to be no easy way to enter citations and automatically create bibliographies in anything else than in Microsoft Word and LibreOffice. To my surprise the book itself wasn't there, but instead I found scholarly journal articles ABOUT the book.Ĭitation plugins for MS Word, OpenOffice (?) and LibreOffice need to be installed/activated extra. I searched for a famous book which was first published in 1943 and which has been reprinted innumerable times since then.

Although you don't upload anything yourself, you can still search and download references from the mutual online pool. You can also create research groups for your particular research field.

This is of course fine if you want to collaborate with others. Although it's not strictly required, you can upload your references and grant other users access to them. After downloading the desktop application, you MUST create a (free) online account before you can start using the application. Mendeley is a reference manager for MS Word, OpenOffice and LibreOffice and an academic social network.
