Just started using Mendeley. How come I was never told about such a great tool?
@litreviewhq I haven't heard of Mendeley but it could be exactly what I'm looking for... Thanks!
@enkerli I *love* Mendeley. It's the best thing that has happened to reference management since EndNote
Just fyi, Mendeley is pretty awesome on searching research: http://t.co/l0VoRGU
@AmandaMichelle I love Mendeley: love the web importer, use it across devices (phone/ipad), and to share readings w/advisors, etc. #phdchat
I friggin' LOVE Mendeley!!

Supporting the Research Workflow

Connecting Scholars in the Cloud
Research is a social activity, but the tools and the data aren’t.
Databases have incomplete metadata, incompatible licenses prevent remixing and sharing necessary for new insights.
Capture the latent info in their process!
![Page 6: SLA2012 Computer Science Roundtable: Supporting the Researcher Workflow through User-Centered Design](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5481e37db47959e20c8b461e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
...and aggregates research data in the cloud
Mendeley makes research more collaborative and transparent:
Mendeley extracts research data…
Collecting rich signals from domain experts.

What is Mendeley?
Mendeley Web: A research catalog of 250M documents from 2 M researchers, 170K collaborative groups.
Mendeley Desktop: A bit of software that organizes PDFs and helps researchers write papers.

Mendeley Comparison
Why spend money if good free tools exist?
Expensive tools may be overkill for just collecting papers and inserting citations
Beholden to their existing base, can’t innovate
Tools of scholarship should be in the hands of scholars
![Page 17: SLA2012 Computer Science Roundtable: Supporting the Researcher Workflow through User-Centered Design](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5481e37db47959e20c8b461e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Citation Style Language
CSL is a markup language, like HTML, but for citation info.
Open format
Tools for scholarly communication by and for scholars.
![Page 18: SLA2012 Computer Science Roundtable: Supporting the Researcher Workflow through User-Centered Design](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5481e37db47959e20c8b461e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Citation Style Language
Implements CSL
Ships with thousands of styles
Develops citation style processor code
Supports community in development of styles
