Mendeley Desktop used to be a decent software, and comparatively one of the best among Reference Managers. The new online version is beyond expectations

There are a lot of references that do a good job troubleshooting, although I am not sure there is a direct number to an actual person.

Alternatives Considered
Mendeley
Microsoft EndNote. Mendeley has better user interface and is able to store, sort and organize a large number of articles effectively. Also can import and extract information from citations from articles online without the entire full text pdf availability. Can be used and accessed from portable devices such as iPads and mobile phones as well.

Return on Investment
Mendeley
  • It is great that for instance, you download the paper you need once, and share it with your entire team.
  • You can present your annotation with the team!

Zenreader Screenshots

Screenshot of PDF Reader with Tagged image and text highlights. The text search panel is open, showing matched words with their surrounding context.Screenshot of Zenreader's Outliner used for creating drafts. Drag and drop highlights directly into the outlines and then export everything. The references engine takes care of the citations and bibliography.Screenshot of Document Kanban Boards: manage your project's work by organising the documents by tags or by moving them to the relevant kanban columns.Screenshot of Zenreader comes with a project history: showing you what you worked on and when. This is great to be able to trace back how much time you have spent and when you reviewed a particular document.
