Mendeley & referencing:
Mendeley is a free reference manager and academic social network that can help you organize your research, collaborate with others online, and discover the latest research.
With Mendeley, you can:
- Create and manage citations of books, articles, videos, and more
 - Import citations from many databases
 - Extract metadata from imported PDFs
 - Collaborate with other researchers online
 - Find relevant papers based on what you’re reading
 - Highlight and annotate papers and share those notes with others
 - Organize your sources using groups, tags, and filters
