What people are saying about Mendeley

    • For research departments, academics and students, the tool offered by Mendeley is a brilliant aid. I recommend this to all of my Ph.D. students, academic collaborators and all of my corporate contacts.

      Prof. William Fitzgerald Head of Research, Signal Processing Laboratory, University of Cambridge

    • Mendeley solves a real problem that researchers face. It helps research groups share and collaborate, and it's easy to use.

      Prof. Ralph Etienne-Cummings Dept. of Electrical & Computer Engineering, Johns Hopkins University

    • Using Mendeley to keep my references organized saves time and allows me to focus on more important matters. The interface is natural and the impressive, ever-expanding features make Mendeley the best reference manager I've used.

      Ryan Field Ph.D. Student, Bioelectronic System Labs, Columbia University

    • A fantastic application, priceless for a "naturally disorganized" person like me: It organizes your PDFs, extracts cited references and builds a bibliographic database for you. Perfect!

      Dr. Piotr Szymczak Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Warsaw

    • Mendeley is the only reference management tool allowing you to extract metadata from an existing library of PDF files, removing the barrier to start using it for established researchers and making it effortless to maintain your library.

      Dr. Oleksandr Voznyy National Research Council Canada

    • Mendeley is a fantastic tool, and it's a great solution to what was a disjointed set of papers. The ability to share papers with others is a powerful feature and our group will definitely make good use of it.

      Andrew Dunk Ph.D. Student, Centre for Advanced Computing and Emerging Technologies, University of Reading

    • I wanted a simple way to organize a large number of citations, directly with their PDFs. And I wanted it to be synchronized across all of my computers and backed up online. Mendeley has done this for me!

      Bobby Rohrkemper Ph.D. Student, Institute of Neuroinformatics, ETH Zurich

    • In our group we manage our bibliography with Mendeley since it provides unique capabilities especially in terms of citation sharing and automatic data extraction from PDF files. Keep up the good work!

      Asst. Prof. Anastasios Sextos Department of Civil Engineering, Aristotle University Thessaloniki

    • No researcher can be without Mendeley for organising their papers - awesome!

      Marie-Claire Jenkins Ph.D. Student, School of Computing Sciences, University of East Anglia
