Mendeley is a free reference manager for academics and researchers that enables users to store and organise documents as well as collaborate with others online. The academic social network also updates users when new research is added. Mendeley is available as an app or via a web browser.

Free Tools To Improve Research Skills

Mendeley creates a free personal library to store all your research making a multiple long and complex documents easy to search. It allows you to annotate documents as you read and share with other users for collaborative note-making.

With 1G of secure cloud storage the library is easily accessible from anywhere. Further features include purchasable additional storage, a web importer to add articles and a citation plugin compatible with most word processing software that generates instant citations as you write.

Collaboration Opportunities
