    Mendeley

    Mendeley is a reference management programme and social network for academics.

    The basic version is free and includes the Reference Manager (browser application and desktop programme), Mendeley Cite (add-in for Word) and the Web Importer (browser extension).

    Mendeley Institutional Edition for Teams

    ZHdK holds a licence for the Mendeley Institutional Edition for Teams, which offers the following benefits to ZHdK members:

    • 100 GB of personal storage
    • Unlimited number of private groups
    • Private groups with up to 100 collaborators
    • 100 GB of group storage
    • Direct links to ZHdKโ€™s electronic resources

    You can benefit from the above listed advantages by logging into Mendeley once every twelve months. To do this, make sure you are logged into the ZHdK network (either on-site or via VPN).

    Information for users of the previous Mendeley Desktop application

    As of September 2022, Mendeley Desktop will no longer be developed further and can no longer be downloaded. However, existing installations can still be used.

    The new desktop application is called "Mendeley Reference Manager". If you switch from Mendeley Desktop to Reference Manager, please use the same login data after the download as before and not the way via the institutional login. This way your library will be migrated automatically.
