- PaperShip is an iPad, iPhone, and Mac application designed to give you access to your Mendeley / Zotero library on-the-go. You will enjoy annotating your PDFs with highlights, notes, free text, drawings and much more! What the scientists say: “Maybe the best app I have” by WilllllliW.
- Make sure you’ve synced your existing Mendeley Desktop library Download and install Mendeley Reference Manager Sign in using your Mendeley credentials and your existing library will sync. We’ll be regularly adding new features to Mendeley Reference Manager. Visit the Release Notes to get updates.
- Mendeley can be easily installed on your Mac, but to uninstall Mendeley you need to do more than just deleting it from the /Applications folder. If you have problems in uninstalling Mendeley, check this post to learn how to properly remove unwanted app on Mac.
Having access to your library on multiple platforms is a feature that we are quite proud to provide to our users. Windows, Mac and Linux users can easily organize their research libraries and keep these data accessible via the synchronization capabilities. This availability is not limited to computers but rather any device that can access a web browser. Furthermore, if you own an iOS device such as an iPad or iPhone, there is an app for that too!
The latest update to our app transforms the iOS apps from strictly a reading tool into something a little more full-featured. You can now add documents to your library from the iOS app itself! There are also some minor bug fixes and user interface improvements.
To see this new feature in action, you simply need to open a PDF on your device. Once the PDF is open, you should see an option toward the top of the screen providing options to “Open with…”. Once you press this option, you are presented with a list of all the applications you have that handle PDFs. Select Mendeley and you will be taken to the application.
Local, Public, and Private Folders Mendeley reproduced my Zotero folder hierarchy. I added folders within folders to see if the software would scale to the demands of a larger research project.
The iOS app doesn’t do metadata extraction yet, but you can edit the document details or simply continue reading. Once you’re ready, you can synchronize the application (by clicking “sync”) and the PDF document will be accessible from your Mendeley Web account and your Mendeley Desktop application, where metadata extraction will take place and then be sync’d with your mobile device.
In summary, using the Mendeley app on your iPad, iPod Touch or iPhone no longer just allows you to read papers but also add to your growing research library!
Mendeley App For Mac
The much requested Android app is under development by several third-party developers and we’re hoping something will be available this summer.
There are several tools you can use to install Mendeley. If you are using the PSU computer labs, you will need to use the Chrome extension or the web importer. For more information and download links, visit the Mendeley website.
- Mendeley Desktop Application - Add PDFs and citations to Mendeley by dropping PDFs into the desktop application. It will then try to create the citation from the PDF itself. You can also set up watched folders where Mendeley will automatically add all PDFs that appear in that folder.
- Chrome Extension - Save citations to Mendeley using the Web extension whenever you are viewing an article (including PDF files) or a list of references in the browser. The Chrome extension most of the features of the desktop application of Mendeley, and is a great substitute if you cannot use the desktop application.
- Web Importer - This simple tool can save citations to Mendeley (it has no other features). It can be used in any browser, not just Chrome.
- Mobile App - Access your Mendeley library and read, annotate or highlight your citations on the go.

Sync your citations to Mendeley by clicking the 'Sync' icon in the desktop application or the mobile app. You cannot sync in the web-based Mendeley library, but the library will pull the information synced from the desktop or mobile app. For example, you can add citations from the lab computers to your Mendeley library using the Chrome extension or the web importer, and then you can sync your mobile app to keep reading after you leave. If you make any changes on the mobile app, just sync again so the changes are reflected on another version of Mendeley.
