Before getting into that, however, I'd like to take a little detour and talk a little about our mission and how that relates to the scholarly endeavor. Our mission at Mendeley is to help researchers organize research, collaborate easily with colleagues, and discover new research.]]> http://www.mendeley.com/blog/academic-features/on-sharing-research-and-the-value-of-peer-review-mendeleys-response-to-sopa-and-the-research-works-act/feed/ 4 http://www.mendeley.com/blog/academic-features/announcing-the-mendeley-institutional-edition-powered-by-swets/ http://www.mendeley.com/blog/academic-features/announcing-the-mendeley-institutional-edition-powered-by-swets/#comments Thu, 12 Jan 2012 21:18:00 +0000 William http://www.mendeley.com/blog/?p=43450 Mendeley Institutional Edition.
