Mendeley

Overview of Mendeley, a free online referencing system

Mendeley is not supported by the University of Adelaide, however, you can download and install the Mendeley Desktop app from the University's Software Center (on University-owned computers).

University of Adelaide staff and students have access to the Mendeley Institutional Edition, which entitles the user to:

  • 100 GB personal storage instead of 2 GB with the 'free account'.
  • 100 GB shared storage instead of 100 MB with the 'free account'.
  • Unlimited private groups of up to 100 collaborators instead of 5 private groups of up to 25 collaborators.

If you already have a Mendeley account, you will automatically be upgraded to the Institutional Edition. 
Interested staff and students can create a Mendeley account via the link above, using your University of Adelaide email address.  When you create a new Mendeley account you should then receive an email which confirms your account has been upgraded to the Institutional Edition; you will receive a link to the University of Adelaide Mendeley Group page. 

Please Note:

  • To maintain access to the Institutional Edition you will need to re-verify your account via the University of Adelaide Mendeley Group page at least once every 12 months.
  • If you have an existing Mendeley account using a personal email address and wish to join the University of Adelaide Institutional Edition:
    login to your account, go to settings, change your email address to your adelaide.edu.au address.
