The new plans are too expensive. Think this through again.
I was planning to convert my personal article library to a post-grad fellows library in my specialty field but the addition of the fellows to a private group and the need for more than 5 G of space makes the plan prohibitively expensive. I am satisfied with my "small" experience of the last two years as an individual subscriber, but there is now no way to economically continue to use the product as I had planned. I am agreeable to paying for "cloud" services, but the monthly charge for what I was intending to do will quickly exceed $100. I…

Show number readers in my library
When I discover a new paper via the "Papers" tab I get to know the number of readers of this specific paper. It would be great to have the same functionality with the list of papers in my library, plus getting a list of "suggested papers".

make it so Mendeley is not updating 100% of the time (ie syncing, "completing tasks", etc.) It makes the desktop program freeze A LOT.
When Mendeley Desktop is open on my PC (Windows 8), it is constantly "completing task 7,005 of 7,035" and so every single time I add a paper or attempt any other action, it has to think about it for a series of minutes. And those minutes add up. What tasks could Mendeley possibly be completing CONSTANTLY?

enable members to have a link to share with their peers for registering in thier group
Currently I should invite members to join mendeley or my group by entering their email address into the designated field so the invitation email goes over. However, I and many other users, I assume, want to keep the link on their website/blog/email so others can join by clicking the link. thanks

Allow article linking (article comments, editorials, revisions, retractions)
Big findings and controversial articles are often accompanied by editorials from other scientists, comments, and criticisms. Also, journals will publish corrections or retractions as articles. I wish Mendeley allowed sub-articles for the case when one publication directly and uniquely applies to another.
This would clear up the occaisional problem when the editorial article has the same title as the parent article, but a different pub. date and author.

Have an option to change the color of the text for an entry in "My Library" by right-clicking on it.
This would allow us to (manually) color-code our libraries according to whatever scheme we like. For example, I could turn listings for articles I've partially read one color and listings for articles with important methods sections orange. This way we wouldn't be limited to the options the software gives us (read/unread, favorite/not favorite).

feature to write data for many papers
I have a new idea, some times I have 20 papers or more like Proceedings of the 11th Int. Conference on Digital Audio Effects
(DAFx-08) , I would like to select all proceedings and add manually one time name of city , Year name of editor , name of publisher because it's a same. Ithink it's very pratical if you add fonctionality to do that.1 vote -

One click supplemental
As almost all supplemental information is free it should be possible to simply click a button to add the supplemental documents to an article.
This would be much faster than clicking on the URL link, finding the supplemental information, downloading it, then adding the file to the documents for the article.

how to import keywords from custom fields in RIS export
I would like to swich from Bibus to Mendeley (some 4000 references), I can do this by exporting in RIS format.
However, similarly to Mendeley, Bibus is using a hierarchical folder/categores structure to class the references; I have managed to change the RIS export of Bibus to also export the categories of each reference as a custom field; Is it possible to import these into the keywords or tags fields of Mendeley ?
And is it possible to attribute then keywords or tags automatically to folders with the same name ??
Thanks in advance for any ideas on this0 votes -

Filtering with exact journal name
I just found that when I tried to filter by publication, it does not give me the exact match of the journal title. For example, if I use 'Cell' as my filter, Mendeley shows Cell, Cell Reports, Cell Stem Cell and so on. It looks like there is no difference between filter and search. For me, it is a little bit weird that the program can recognize different journals but cannot filter with that exact journal name.
