Mendeley

Mendeley is a free reference management software package, also known as bibliographic software, which enables you to:

• Create a personal database of references relevant to you, along with associated files, to easily manage your research;
• De-duplicate references retrieved from multiple sources;
• Insert references into a Word document and format them automatically in a citation style of your choice;
• Showcase your work and connect and collaborate with researchers worldwide.
