Mendeley is a reference manager, academic collaboration network and crowdsourced database with a unique layer of social information research. Mendeley Reference Manager is available on Mac, Windows and Linux. Mendeley Web functions on all major browsers.

CSIRO provides the Mendeley Institutional Edition (MIE) free for CSIRO researchers

Note: Do not create an account via your institution! Create a separate Mendeley account using your CSIRO email address and a unique password. This will enable you to get the full benefits of the Institutional Edition of Mendeley.

MIE entitles individual users in the group to:

  • 100 GB personal library space

As of September 2022, Mendeley ceased offering Mendeley Desktop for download from their site and CSIRO removed the software from the Software Center. CSIRO staff can now download Mendeley Reference Manager from the Software Center to manage their Mendeley library.
