Mendeley is a free reference management and academic social networking program. It allows users to organize PDF documents and citations, share references with other Mendeley users, and insert citations and bibliographies into Microsoft Word documents. Mendeley Desktop can be installed on multiple computers and synchronized with the user's Mendeley Web account to access references from any computer. While less full-featured than Endnote or Reference Manager, Mendeley provides basic reference management and social networking capabilities for academic users.
