Cross-platform support is the biggest advantage of Mendeley. It supports Windows, OSx, Linux, iOS and Anroid. Most of the smilar software doesn't support Linux operating systems, but mendeley does. The second biggest advantage for me was ready-to-use...

Everything great about Mendeley, from before the Elsevier acquisition, is gone. The application used to be entirely functional for creating in-text citations with the Word plug-in offline. Now, you must be signed in to your Mendeley account to use the Word...

Sente organizes my journal articles so that I can review them from within the app. I'm able to view and markup the journal PDF directly from the app. Also the automatic input of citation information with use of doi number.
