Mendeley

Gute Software

Vorteile:

Mit der Erweiterung für den Safari und Chrome Browser kann man sehr viel Zeit sparen.

Nachteile:

Die Mobile App hat noch viel Verbesserungspotenzial.

Indispensable tool

Kommentare: Mendeley is great for me as a post-grad researcher. I can easily keep track of research papers in one place, edit the bibliographic details and create reference lists.

Vorteile:

Keeps all papers together Integration with word Can import directly from Safari or Chrome Saves a lot of time

Nachteile:

When initially logged in comes up with a search screen, but I cannot reaccess this once in my library. This facility should be easier to access.

Best reference manager in my experience

Vorteile:

The google extension to add references is useful. Once I use this, I can go back into the Mendeley desktop app and sync it and it appears. I also like that you can download citations in different formats (.ris, etc) and can drag and drop into Mendeley desktop for a quick import. It works well with Word to add references while writing.

Nachteile:

I don't like that the Mendeley window disappears when I add a reference in Word. Sometimes I search references by topic/author but I have to copy a list of the references I need to add into a note because Mendeley disappears while I add the references. I wish it would simply remain in the background so I can see my reference list while I'm adding references.

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

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 the best Reference Management application for Researchers and Academics

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
