Mendeley Institutional

Mendeley is a reference manager, an academic social network and a scientific literature collaborative catalog. It allows to manage your research, showcase your work, connect and collaborate with over six million researchers worldwide.

Mendeley allows you:
 

• Generate bibliographies automatically.
