• Add, edit, and organize your references

• Create and manage groups

• Link Mendeley to Microsoft Word and/or create a BibTeX library for a seamless writing experience

• Search Mendeley for relevant scholarly literature on any topic

• Connect citations to PDFs on your computer (or import PDFs directly into Mendeley) for easy PDF management

• Annotate and mark up PDFs that are linked to citations within your library

• Link multiple PDFs and documents to a single reference record within your library
   

2. Mendeley Research Network focuses on connecting researchers.

Using the network features you can:

• Create and share a scholarly profile with the Web (or with only other Mendeley users, depending on how you configure the settings)

• Search Mendeley for relevant scholarly literature on any topic

• Create, join, and manage groups

• Discover articles that are trending in your research area
