One time I opened (new) Mendeley and it was completely empty, all my sources were gone! A wave of emotion hit me, a combination of shock and utter panic. Opening and closing the add-in for each citation was not an option either, as it took an unacceptably long time to open on my computer. I tend to have my reference manager with the source I'm reading on one side of my screen and my research notes on the other, so wasting a big block of space in the middle was extremely annoying. Instead of the small citation window that opened temporarily with the old Mendeley, the new version rudely took up an entire column of screen real estate just to add a citation.
MENDELEY DESKTOP TOO SMALL INSTALL
Instead of a "plug-in" for Microsoft Word, which you can install without needing the Microsoft Store, the new Mendeley changed to using an "add-in", which needs the Microsoft Store to be enabled.Right, so I had to use the new one or eventually lose access altogether. Users were reassured they could still use the old one for now, but the real plan is to eventually " begin the process of stopping all sign-ins to Mendeley Desktop". Mendeley changesĪ few months ago, Mendeley announced that the version I was using would be discontinued (Mendeley Desktop), and replaced with something new (Mendeley Reference Manager).
MENDELEY DESKTOP TOO SMALL FREE
I've now completely changed my mind and have moved all of my 464 sources over to Zotero, another free reference manager, believing this to now be the obvious choice for your reference managing needs.
I've just spent the last few years telling anyone that needed a reference manager that they should use Mendeley, as that's what I was using and it was free and good.
