        This really would help on collaborative papers. Have they looked into it? Is there a work-around to make it work?

        Noticed there haven't been any comments on this thread in a while. Does anyone know if Mendeley is working on this?

        An integration with Google Docs would definetely be the killer and boost Mendeley`s popularity as an increasing number of schools and universities are switching to Google Apps.

        Handling RTFs offline is not a substitute for live, collaborative Google Docs integration.

        WizFolio already has this function but it just works with the old Google Docs format... I work a lot with Google Docs and It'll be nice if Mendeley can handle my references.

        Here is where Mendeley can really make a difference!! First bibliographic tool with a smooth integration with Google Docs, kind of the actual integration with MSWord or OOO!! If done, I am sure Google will start featuring Mendeley and promoting online collaborations using G.Docs/Mendeley.

        Would require work from Google docs side. Currently only possible to insert references by using bibtex tag fields or similar and running Endnote or similar on the document to automatically process the references.

        I would really love to have Mendeley working with google docs .. much easier to work papers online from anywhere.

        I'm using Zotero to do that at the moment but it is not ideal and I would far prefer using Mendeley if the functionality existed.

        Google docs would be amazing. Integration with google wave in the future may make Mendeley an indispensable research tool for writing and collaboration.

        yep.. this feature would be highly useful for collaborative writing and would eliminate the need for emailing libraries and word documents back and forth!!! I'm surprised more people haven't voted for this feature!!!

      • Tauseef KhanTauseef Khan commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Is this even possible. It will be a godsend if it is. Imagine how much easier it will make writing multi-author manuscripts, which is the norm nowadays.
        Victor are you looking into this?
