It also looks up PubMed, CrossRef, DOIs, and other related document details automatically. It gathers document details from your PDFs allowing you to effortlessly search, organize and cite. Mendeley Desktop is academic software that indexes and organizes all of your PDF documents and research papers into your own personal digital bibliography. Mendeley is a research management tool for desktop and Web. Like its participants, Mendeley seems more than capable of handling both. But its main purpose is enabling and furthering scientific, academic, and intellectual interaction and cooperation. While we can't cite studies to back it up, we suspect that Mendeley is where a lot of intelligent, highly focused yet widely knowledgeable people (we'll call them 'nerds') hang out and trade extremely esoteric jokes. Like other social networking tools, you can use Mendeley to invite colleagues as well as meet new ones and relocate old ones. Copious help is available for newbies, including video tutorials, local workshops (where available you can always start one, too!) and even Facebook and Twitter accounts where you can ask questions of experienced users. We clicked Add Documents and browsed to an archive, but it's just as easy to drag-and-drop documents directly into the program for organizing. For starters, only three toolbar buttons are active: Add Documents, Create Folder, and Sync Library. The program's toolbar and navigation panel have the familiar feel of a full-featured e-mail client that can sync folders and data with servers and other accounts. In addition to the Dashboard, tabs let us quickly access My Library, Papers, Groups, and People. Clicking the link in the verification email we received opened the main page, the Dashboard, in our browser. The setup wizard let us log in to an existing account or create a new one, which only required a name, e-mail address, and password, though users can enter their research field and status. Mendeley Desktop requires a free Mendeley account that enables users to share and sync data across multiple computers and mobile devices. It indexes and organizes your research, papers, PDFs, and other tools into an easy-to-use interface, but its online features also make it easy to access work posted by other researchers as well as access scientific, medical, and technical databases and sites. If you mashed up Facebook and Outlook with some professional networking features, threw in a dash of scientific interaction (think Berkeley's BOINC) and pointed the business end at researchers, you'd probably end up with something very much like this. Mendeley Desktop is a Web-based interactive network for posting, editing, reviewing, and critiquing academic research.
