Mendeley

FAQs

  1.  Is there any unique feature on Mendeley?

    The Notebook is a note-taking feature where you can create pages of specific topics and link your notes, highlighted text or quotations from multiple .pdf files while retaining these links back to the original articles.

  2. Is Mendeley supported by Impeiral ICT?

    Mendeley is not affiliated with or supported by Imperial ICT. Use your personal email for registration and contact the Library for support.

  3. Is there any good alternative to Mendeley?

It all depends on the level of your studies and your research requirements. The library subscribes to RefWorks, which is a great alternative to Mendeley and is also available to Imperial alumni free of charge. However, if you are looking for high-quality and free referencing software, Zotero is an open-source and user-friendly solution to meet most of your requirements. 

If you are conducting a systematic review, Endnote might be a better option due to its advanced complexity and unlimited storage.
