Mendeley is a reference information management system that allows researchers, scholars, and writers to create, organize, and reuse bibliographic descriptions and citations in Microsoft Word. Scientists use Mendeley to share and organize scientific articles, and to create references, footnotes, and citations.

With the free bibliographic information management program, users can save and view publications in PDF format. When you register with Mendeley, you get the ability to download documents, web pages, and other materials from various search engines and academic databases directly into your reference library. As you populate your reference library, Mendeley Web Importer automatically extracts accurate metadata from more than 90 million bibliographic records, so you don't have to waste time manually entering it. Find out more about the program on the official Mendeley website.
