This or (and?) a more paper specific solution built around the citation count of paper is really very important indeed.

However given that you don't seem to be able to get the citation count information then it is massively preferable to have this information rather than not.

@Thomas TRIPLET - what you say is a pretty minor concern, withholding information like this is not a way to teach people to make broad and considered judgements about the strength of a paper. While imperfect, the information about impact factor is there for everyone to find, as are citation counts - just neither of them from within Mendeley.

Without some information in Mendeley about the "value" of a paper diligent researchers are forced go and check it out ( via impact factors and citation counts ) and that takes time and effort.

Yup this is a biggie - the related research Mendeley shows is useful, but because it is not complete it doesn't really give you any idea of how many other people cite a work.
There is no way within Mendeley of checking if someone has replicated a result ( or failed to do so ) so you are left with copying the title into google scholar and getting the info that way.

If you can't get the information from google scholar or any of the other services which display it then just a link to look up the list in google scholar would be very useful!

As many people have commented there are some independent efforts on the Android market. However they are limited by what functions Mendeley expose in their API - currently both developers cannot complete their work because of the API work Mendeley still need to do.

The big thing lacking is accessing notes and annotations made in the desktop application and while i'm dreaming the ability to make notes and annotations - I don't know about anyone else but this is really what i use mendeley for - i read things make a few notes, tag and file and then i can lay my hands on that paper i read 2 months ago easily.

So Its clear you guys are not going to make an android app - and fair enough, but please make it possible for the guys who are doing this to make a great app that really works - incidently if you do finish opening the API like this then the android apps will be more feature complete than the iOS one you have...
