There are plenty of reference management tools. Papers, RefWorks, Endnote, JabRef, Zotero, colwiz, readcube, and more. Here's a comparison table at wikipedia (probably not super up-to-date but worth taking a look): http://en.wikipedia.org/

Yeah, Greenpeace is a VC funded for-profit company. Yeah, good analogy. :-)

Why the use of the past tense? Mendeley still has all those features and more. :) Also, the open API we provide allows for building third-party applications like Android apps and such. But I digress. :) (Disclosure: I'm part of the Mendeley

Mendeley is not going to stop working all of a sudden. It's still the same tool, developed by the same people, with the same roadmap and vision ahead.

We're here and ready to not be destroyed. From the looks of it at the office, it's work as usual. By that I mean, building a great tool and resource for researchers. :)

They are not leaving. This one person left, a while ago. Correlation or causation, I can't speak for him.

Integration of Mendeley with Elsevier's Scopus and ScienceDirect is very much on the roadmap. The desktop app is going to continue to see more attention. Some great features coming to our next release. We've totally rewritten the iOS app an

There's a large comparison table of the many reference management tools out there on wikipedia. It's not very very up-to-date but will provide for some good links and overview: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_reference_managem..

I'm sorry you have such sour feelings about Elsevier. I can't really comment much about that. However, I can speak for what I know from Mendeley and I can tell you that we have projects planned that span farther than the one year abyss you

We are going to continue with our current roadmap. We're going to provide more features, more content via integration with Scopus and ScienceDirect and we even have a rewritten iOS app coming out soon. More resources will allow us to provid

Sorry to read that you had issues with Mendeley. A quick look at that link and I can see that many of the issues you highlight are related to citation styles. We have made some good progress there with our citation style editor. We have als

Ok, you are reading too strongly into my words. I was trying to keep a light tone. I apologize if that wasn't what came across. Anyhow, we do control our roadmap and we have plenty of exciting work ahead of us.

You can easily synch your Zotero library into Mendeley (check preferences). Mendeley is (in my biased opinion) easier to use with a better user interface. It allows you to read, annotate, collaborate in groups, etc. Sync to the web so you c

No, it isn't. We're still committed as ever to producing a great research tool and resource for our users. We will keep pushing for that and will certainly accelerate the pace with more resources.

We're in it for the long run. So no worries. I also need it to finish my degree, so there's that too! :) (Btw, notice that you now have double storage!)

I don't want to comment on a comment, so I'd prefer to point you to Mendeley's official blog post on this topic here: http://blog.mendeley.com/start-up-life/team-mendeley-is-join... If there are more questions, we have put together a coup

As I've mentioned before, we see this as a great opportunity to focus on our users and provide an ever better tool and overall resource. More resources will mean more features faster and more attention to key projects like our open API (whi

We certainly don't hope that this is the case. We are very much excited at the opportunity this is providing us to focus on our userbase. We have an action packed roadmap set ahead of us and the resources now available to us will allow us t
