Here are the latest news about Mendeley:
17.02.26. Mendeley added new AI tools for article management

Mendeley, the research article management software, has added new AI features. When you're given a new article to read, the Reading Assistant helps you navigate it by providing an overview of its purpose, key points and structure. As your library grows, literature review becomes less about collecting articles and more about understanding how they relate to one another. The Ask My Library feature helps you work with saved PDFs to find relevant articles and identify connections between them. Research projects often span long periods, making it difficult to maintain context over time. The AI assistant can help you quickly familiarize yourself with key articles and find sources relevant to your current stage of research.
2024. Mendeley improves Search Experience

Academic Paper Management software Mendeley has released new features that will make the researcher’s life a bit easier. The updated version adds ease to your search experience and be on a first name basis with your references. Users can now search for authors by their first name in the library search. Besides, the updated Mendeley Reference Manager allows to organise your library like a pro and sort your references by file, which means you can put all references with a file attached at the top. And if you want to turn a sub-collection into a parent collection, you can simply drag a sub-collection to “Collection” and just like that it becomes a parent collection.
2024. Mendeley adds new shortcuts, Unsorted Collection

Scientific paper management software Mendeley has released new version that features few keyboard shortcuts to help users better navigate Mendeley Reference Manager. Another new feature - is Unsorted Collection. When you have a large library, it can be hard to keep track of what collection a reference belongs to and even harder to know whether a reference belongs to a collection at all. Which is why Mendeley Reference Manager has added a new smart collection that contains all references that do not belong to a user collection. Just like with the ‘All References’ smart collection, users can now drag and drop references from any folder, hard drive, or external storage into their user collections in Mendeley Reference Manager. Besides in the new version you can customise your library experience; whether you want to see as much information as possible, or you prefer a summarised view, users can now resize their table columns to their preferences.
