"Mendeley" is the best Reference Management application for Researchers and Academics

5,0 vor 8 Monaten

Kommentare: At first, I was confused when looking for and writing references for the paper I wrote as a result of my research. I had to write it manually, and the content was very tiring and tedious because it took a long time to complete. I got information from another researcher friend that Mendeley will speed up the preparation and organization of references. I tried the free version—wow, it's amazing!!! In a short time, my paper references were neatly arranged, and I was very happy using Mendeley.

Vorteile:

I like Mendeley : 1. A reference management application that is very popular among researchers and academics 2. Easy to use 3. Has a Free Version 4. Good organization of references 5. Intestable

Nachteile:

Disadvantages: 1. Limited features for the Free version 2. Expensive for the premium version I hope Mendeley can lower the price

Essential in the field of research and science

5,0 vor 4 Wochen Neu

Kommentare: First use due to having to write the speializzazione thesis. Application perhaps not famous to non-“ people in the field” and needs, in first use, watching a tutorial/instructions. Once set up and known, you never leave.

Vorteile:

Excellent link with Word (office) to create in a few steps, almost automated, bibliography of a text

Nachteile:

Access can be cumbersome if you do not have an institutional email

Have been using this for 8 years, looking for new one to switch to

3,0 vor 2 Jahren

Kommentare: I am a daily user of this software but would love to have something up-to-date regarding its functionality.

Vorteile:

I can access articles from any device and conveniently add interesting papers to my database using a web browser extension. I have the ability to write notes directly on PDFs and interact with the document as if it were a printed version. This includes underlining important sections and adding notes alongside, all while remaining connected to the specific article.

Nachteile:

I am disappointed to find that the software lacks a crucial feature that I had anticipated - the ability to conduct comprehensive searches within the content of my papers. Regrettably, the search functionality is limited to article titles, and it does not even accommodate partial word matches. Specifically, one must input the exact term, such as "biochemistry," to yield any results, whereas a partial term like "bio" fails to produce any relevant outcomes. I communicated this concern to the software issuer four years ago, who mentioned they were working on addressing this issue. Yet, despite the advancements in the field of artificial intelligence, it appears that no progress has been made in this regard. Additionally, the software does not allow for exporting the entire database with annotations, necessitating a time-consuming process of exporting them one by one. As a result, switching to a different application would mean losing years' worth of work.

Mendeley is user friendly

Vorteile:

I like Mendeley because it is free which is really helping me a lot as a student and user friendly whereby I need not more than 2 hours to get used to it.

I have already recommended Mendeley to my research team!

5,0 letztes Jahr

Vorteile:

The feature that I have appreciated most about Mendeley over the past few years is the integration with citations and the MS Word plugin. This can be a very difficult aspect of a manuscript to manage and Mendeley Cite has saved me hours of work. The web importer has also been a favourite tool.

Nachteile:

There was one journal that I submitted a manuscript to that required a unique variation on a common citation style. It was not easy to adjust one small item from one of the templates. Thankfully, a colleague new code and was able to adjust it for me somehow. That process could have been a little more intuitive.

My referencing assistant

5,0 vor 2 Jahren

Kommentare: Since I started using Mendeley for my Masters thesis, it has made my referencing a lot less frustrating and makes my paper writing much faster. I would definitely recommend Mendeley to anyone in the academic world, and to all students who have to frequently write and cite their source. For a free software, it sure does make my work more efficient.

Vorteile:

The ability to cite and add references with ease and being able to tailor these for a paper using the referencing style of the preferred journal for publication. Also love how it makes collaborations easy by sharing projects with colleagues. It also allows for better organization of papers and their references. And easy to import citations with a quick click.

Nachteile:

It frustrates me that the software cannot detect when a citation is a duplicate, at time ending up with two citations of the same source. It also sucks that I have to double check all the references manually because the automatic reference generator is not always accurate, at times missing some information.

Free but colleagues use other reference managers

4,0 letztes Jahr

Kommentare: Overall it was a good starter program for learning how to use a reference manager. I have since moved to using Papers because my boss uses that reference manager.

Vorteile:

I personally liked that it was free and had an easy-to-use Word plugin.

Nachteile:

No one else used it, and it required frequent updating. And now, it's not being supported for some reason. Not sure why. Most of my colleagues use Papers or EndNote (and pay for it).

The perfect tool for bibliography management

5,0 letztes Jahr

Kommentare: Mendeley has proven to be a cornerstone of my thesis-writing. Whether I'm storing articles for future revision, making notes for my thesis, or managing citations, Mendeley handles it all with an ease.

Vorteile:

Mendeley simplifies the daunting task of organizing and formatting references during my Thesis writing as a researcher in university. Its interface is intutive. Something I like from this tool is that it allows me to effortlessly import references from various databases, and the automatic citation feature.

Nachteile:

I have not found any important drawback. However, occasional slow sync times occurs.

Easy for reference citing, but sometimes not too user-friendly

4,0 vor 12 Monaten

Kommentare: Overall, I would recommend Mendeley as it is an effective way of organising literature. However, it could be easier to navigate and more user friendly.

Vorteile:

I used Mendeley when I was writing my dissertation. What I liked most about it was the ease of using it within Microsoft Word. It saves a lot of time and organises your literature very efficiently.

Nachteile:

It takes some time to get used to it and some functions (e.g. citation database) are not very easy to navigate. It also takes some advanced skills to learn how to create your own citation styles.

Mendeley Elsevier

4,0 letztes Jahr

Vorteile:

Mendeley isa very good assistant while I am writing articles. I use it to easily generate my quotes and reference list based on the style I need. You just need to import the different sources in your library and the the app take the remaining in charge

Nachteile:

My only problems are related to the fact that, when you change your device, even though you are connected, you lose your files, you just have their names. Also, with some pdf, it is impossible to auto generate the quote and reference and sometimes, the add-in refuse to be integrated to Microsoft Office Word

hard to use but i need it

3,0 vor 2 Jahren

Kommentare: It's ok - i think the continous having to log in again and the having to refresh in word if you add a new source is quite annoying.

Vorteile:

I like that it just formats my bibliogrpahy once i have the source in there and that i can add it to microscoft word

Nachteile:

i think it's unfortunate that i can't search for key words that i might safe with that source someitmes i dont remember the title of the paper and would like to add some notes that i can search for.

Impossible to merge citations

3,0 vor 2 Jahren

Kommentare: Very good with the old version. A nightmare with the current one.

Vorteile:

Not much from the new version. It does not improve the main feature, which is to use references in a document.

Nachteile:

I am using many hours of work (not finished yet) trying to modify a document prepared with the old Mendely, which was quite user-friendly. I had a few references duplicated and the new version does to allow to merge duplicates: they must be deleted. But then the software is not able to update the new databse: it hungs. Another major problem is that you must be logged into Elsevier, meaning that you cannot work offline in your document.

My time-saving to do a references list

5,0 vor 2 Jahren

Kommentare: I highly recommend Mendeley to anyone who wants to optimize their research paper organization and save time in the process. The benefits of using this software far outweigh any minor inconveniences, and I have found it to be an essential tool for my academic work.

Vorteile:

Mendeley has been a game-changer for me in terms of organizing my research papers. All my papers are stored in one place and can be accessed on any device using my Mendeley account. I also love the Mendeley extension, which makes it easy to download papers directly from Elsevier and quickly add them to my library. The best feature is the automatic reference list creation, which saves me a lot of time and hassle when writing papers in the correct format.

Nachteile:

The only downside is that sometimes Mendeley is unable to extract all the necessary paper information automatically, such as the authors and date, and requires manual input. However, this is a rare occurrence, and most of the time, the information is extracted automatically.

Nachteile:

As of downside, sometimes it takes long to load. It might not communicate well with all text Editors and of online MS office it doesn’t work.

Per una bibliografia ordinata e automatica

4,0 vor 2 Jahren

Kommentare: Nel complesso raccomando l'utilizzo di Mendeley in primo luogo a tutti quegli studenti o ricercatori che hanno necessità di automatizzare la propria bibliografia per certi tipi di documenti, come una tesi od un articolo scientifico. Ho personalmente utilizzato il programma per più di 5 anni e ne sono rimasto soddisfatto.Al di là di questo, Mendeley può risultare utile anche come software di archiviazione automatizzata di documenti in modo da poter cercare e filtrare facilmente la propria biblioteca.

Vorteile:

Mendeley è il programma perfetto per organizzare in maniera automatica e precisa i propri riferimenti bibliografici in ambito scientifico. Basta aggiungere i file e il programma riconosce automaticamente i parametri necessari (Rivista, autori, anno, volume, ...) e cataloga il file di conseguenza. Basta poi installare il plugin di Microsoft Word per produrre una bibliografia automatizzata di tutti i riferimenti utilizzati in un proprio documento.Ho trovato molto comoda anche la possibilità di utilizzare il programma come un proprio database/biblioteca di tutta la letteratura scientifica utilizzata finora e di poterla gestire da dispositivi differenti grazie alla sincronizzazione automatica presente.Un'altra funzionalità molto comoda è la possibilità di scegliere il formato di presentazione della bibliografia o di scaricare eventuali formati aggiuntivi dal web, in modo da potersi adattare ad eventuali richieste delle riviste scientifiche.

Nachteile:

Il software non sempre riconosce automaticamente i parametri bibliografici necessari o il formato del documento (libro, report, articolo scientifico, ...) e di conseguenza rischia di portare ad errori nella bibliografia risultante. Apprezzerei quindi la possibilità di visualizzare un messaggi di alert che segnala eventuali errori nell'importazione, come l'assenza dell'anno tra i parametri rilevati.

5,0 vor 2 Jahren

Vorteile:

The software have ease of multiple user/device integration which is useful in case of using liquidtext for highlighting and snippets and also with r discovery which provides recent article abstract of interest in prospective topic. Having ease of citation editing tools and other notes integration provides seamless article drafting and also make review across topics an informative search

The restrictions of offline mode software which was introduced few years back makes it online orientation software which makes it difficult in cases wherein article and citation which are available via document require cloud upload when it was previously available in offline mode

Mendeley

4,0 vor 3 Jahren

Vorteile:

Mendeley provides me with many features. I started using the program 2 years ago. It is an incredible thing to be able to search that database over the internet and access related articles, and to be able to show the bibliography of these articles in the same program. At first I thought it would be difficult to learn, but it has a very easy interface. I especially downloaded it to my computer and use it with word. It helps me a lot when citing, and when the journals ask me to edit the bibliography of my article in a different format, I can do it in a short time in Mendeley. it also feels good to be able to separate them in the folder. With the Chrome extension, I can save files that I access from different sites in a short time with a single click on Mendele.

Nachteile:

The places that I found to be improved in the program are the problems I had when I added the file manually. I often encounter problems such as incorrectly titled, article year, etc., probably due to the written language of the file. I have to enter them all myself and of course I have to check. Therefore, multi-language detection feature can be added. Also, in the program, when citing, I have to do two operations for the page insertion part. I wish this could be added in the easier way. Not everyone knows this feature.

Great software that is on the downhill

3,0 vor 2 Jahren

Vorteile:

Mendeley is intuitive and easy to use. I have used the software for years and have enjoyed the annotation feature and ease with which I can use word plug-ins and the various import tools.

Nachteile:

Unfortunately, since Elsevier have taken over Mendeley it is clear there is less investment in the software. Firstly, deleting the iOS app has been a big reason for why I am looking at other reference managers. I used this app to mark up papers which was hugely important to me. The login process is now unnecessarily cumbersome and I am constantly being logged out. There is also fewer opportunities for various plugins to other software (eg Obsidian).
