Mendeley’s aim is to help you more efficiently manage your papers and conveniently share thoughts on papers with colleagues. You see, Mendeley is a properly good reference manager and academic social network that has lots of useful functionality to offer: organize and manage PDFs, annotate and highlight PDFs, generate citations, sync data across devices, communicate with others, and more.

Mendeley is available for multiple platforms: Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and iOS.
Getting the application up and running on a Windows PC is a straightforward matter: run an installer, run it, click through the instructions presented by a setup wizard. During the setup process you will be invited to create a free Mendeley account and complete your Mendeley account.

After that you will be presented with a webpage that lists video tutorials for: add/import papers, organize your library, and start generating citations. Then you will be presented with a Welcome wizard that will help you import PDFs to your library, download popular papers, and claim your publications.

Mendeley’s interface is made up of three panels. The one to the far left displays info about your library, groups, deleted documents. The one in the middle displays all the PDFs in your library. Select a PDF file and details about it will be presented in the panel to the right.

With Mendeley on your side, you can perform the following tasks: create and manage a library of PDFs, sync PDFs across devices, easily access the Mendeley library from any web browser, you have 2GB of free online storage to back up and sync your Mendeley library, generate citations and bibliographies, read and annotate PDFs, connect and collaborate with colleagues, discover papers, create public and private groups, and more.

Nothing but useful functionality is put at your disposal by Mendeley. This is a properly good reference manager and academic social network.

Pros

Mendeley is available for multiple platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS. You get 2GB of free online storage space. A wizard will help you set up Mendeley. The Mendeley interface is user friendly. Easily and efficiently manage your Mendeley library. Conveniently access your library from the web.

Cons

None that I could think of.
