Mendeley - Citation Management Software

Groups for Sharing & Collaboration

Add citations to Mendeley Groups to share references and collaborate with other researchers that have Mendeley accounts.

  • Create groups in Mendeley Reference Manager for Desktop or Mendeley Web. 
  • Groups are private and by invite-only. The Mendeley free plan allows for groups with up to 25 members. 

Mendeley will not allow you to create groups or add members if you are at your storage capacity. Check storage settings in your Settings (drop down menu next to your account photo.) The Subscription section contains package information, personal and shared space usage, and group information. 

Notebook

The Notebook feature in Mendeley allows you to create pages and take notes in one place, even while reading multiple articles or documents. Users can make annotations in PDFs and then these can be moved into a Notebook Page for easy reference.

The Notebook links back to the source document, so if you open a page, you can click on an embedded quotation, and your Mendeley Library will open up the original document. 

A screen capture of the Mendeley Reference Manager with two article tabs open and the notebook tab in the Details panel on the right size also open. An arrow points at my notes in the Notebook in between a quote from each article.
