Comments on Mendeley
“As a researcher, Mendeley is a go-to tool for managing references and PDFs. It simplifies citation management, helps with creating bibliographies, and allows collaboration with peers in research groups.” Dr Sana Iqbal, Research Analyst, Pakistan, 2025
“This tool allows me to collate all my sources and then reference them effectively in my written work. I love how it will quickly save PDFs from things like Google Scholar and allow me to read them across many devices.” Mark Allerby, Senior Lecturer in Social Work, UK, 2021
