Overall Satisfaction with Mendeley

Mendeley is used daily in our Research Department, initially for organizing external references, for sharing them, and most of the work in Mendeley is for annotating and extracting information. Also, once we are writing our content, we always come back to Mendeley to create references and properly maintain our Bibliography. Outside of our work unit, nobody else uses it within our organization.
  • Organizing references
  • Sharing references
  • Annotating documents
  • Summary capabilities for non research personnel
  • Getting documents from watch folders automatically
  • Sharing research
  • Annotating documents
  • 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!
Mendeley is best for citations, has all the reference formats you need, with integrations with Microsoft Word and LaTex, flawlessly shares documents with your team, its graphical user interface is not fancy. Still, it gets the job done and all of this for a few dollars a month.

Mendeley is perfect for organizing your research, for reading and annotating documents. If your team is exclusively research staff, you will get most of the tool. Still, if you need to share your knowledge with non-research personnel, Mendeley is not that appropriate because it will be too complex and confusing for them.
