Research collaboration platform Mendeley, US, has released Mendeley Desktop v1.0 for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The release marks the next step in the evolution of this fast growing academic start-up, and it follows two other major milestones for the company - one million users have now downloaded the application, and Mendeley's crowd-sourced research database saw its 100 millionth paper uploaded.
Cross-platform Mendeley simplifies PDF document management, bibliography sharing and annotation for scientific collaboration, and provides personalised recommendations for new research based on the content of an individual user's library. Key updates in Mendeley Desktop 1.0 include highly requested features such as automatic duplicate detection and shared annotations for group collaboration.
Since going live in 2009, the platform's rapidly expanding user base and crowd-sourced catalogue of research shows that Mendeley is solving real problems for people in academia. The new features allow Mendeley to do an even better job of achieving its mission to change the way research is done by connecting researchers with new content and with new colleagues for collaboration, and thus making research more open and transparent.
