Implementation of Mendeley Institutional Edition at the CSIC

Abstract

Since last June, the CSIC, through the Network of Libraries and Archives, has made available to all its staff the institutional version of the Mendeley bibliographic reference manager (Mendeley Institutional Edition, MIE), with the Scientific Information Resources Unit for Research (URICI) being in charge of managing this tool. Mendeley is a state-of-the-art bibliographic reference manager that combines a web version with a desktop version, incorporating social web functionalities, which allow the connection between researchers, the comments and annotations shared on documents in PDF format and the promotion of own works, functioning as a true publication platform.
