Mendeley is a desktop and web program produced by Elsevier for managing and sharing research papers,[1] discovering research data and collaborating online. It combines Mendeley Desktop, a PDF and reference management application (available for Windows, macOS and Linux) and Mendeley for Android and iOS, with Mendeley Web, an online social network for researchers.[2][3][4]
Mendeley requires the user to store all basic citation data on its servers—storing copies of documents is at the user's discretion. Upon registration, Mendeley provides the user with 2 GB of free web storage space, which is upgradeable at a cost.

Mendeley is available either as a premium payable version or a basic version that is free but requires registration.
