Beyond its clever name, Mendeley is a really powerful program and social networking utility that I have begun to use non-stop over the past months.
It organizes all those peer-reviewed journals you downloaded from EBSCO or any of the other multitudinous online journal distribution sites. It allows you to highlight and add notes to the articles, then share them with people and collaborate.
It also allows you to set up a social networking utility that facilitates communication with other people in your field! So for example, as part of your profile you list publications you have been a part of, then people can contact you through Mendeley to comment on your work etc. It's like peer review facebook!
Maybe you guys aren't as excited as I am, but at least if you have lots of articles you want to hold on to, this is the program for you! (oh, and did I mention that it's free and runs on Linux as well?!?!) Happy Writing!
