The reference finder is also useful. > > **Cons**: The notebook set up could have more writing tools, such as highlighting, different font sizes, bold and others. > > It is a very good tool for managing bibliographic references. They can be grouped into different categories which makes it easy to manage them when it is a large volume. ----- ### "Essential in the field of research and science" — 5.0/5 > **Valentina** | *17 January 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Excellent link with Word (office) to create in a few steps, almost automated, bibliography of a text > > **Cons**: Access can be cumbersome if you do not have an institutional email > > 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. ----- ### ""Mendeley" is the best Reference Management application for Researchers and Academics" — 5.0/5 > **Rudi** | *28 June 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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 > > **Cons**: Disadvantages: 1. Limited features for the Free version 2. Expensive for the premium version I hope Mendeley can lower the price > > 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. ----- ### "Mendeley for Research Work" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *31 August 2024* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Mendeley excels in organizing references, automating citations, and annotating PDFs. Its collaboration features and cross-platform sync make managing and sharing research seamless and efficient. > > **Cons**: Mendeley’s syncing issues and occasional software bugs can disrupt workflow and hinder research efficiency. The software user interface is a little difficult to understand ----- ### "A solid but limited reference manager" — 4.0/5 > **Przemek** | *21 July 2022* | Translation & Localisation | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Mendeley is an amazing low-cost solution for anybody who is looking for a reference manager. Software used to be available as an installable app but is now being phased out and a lighter version is available now. I love how Mendeley helps with my citations as it integrates seamlessly with Word and helps build amazing citations and tables of reference. > > **Cons**: Annotation options are very limited. App allows you to add simple comments and highlight texts. There is no way to add arrows or any other symbols to your pdfs. There used to be a mobile app available that would synchronise with main Mendeley library but now it is not possible to run the app on your tablet. The desktop app logs you out very often and I find it annoying to have to log in every time. > > Mendeley helps me stay organised as it manages all my pdf files seamlessly. Annotations options could be improved. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/1016364/mendeley?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/1016364/mendeley) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
