Organising research papers

[watervole]

 I've just started using Mendeley as a tool for collecting and annotating research papers.  It's very useful for the British Dupuytren's Society as it's become a real problem keeping track of all the different papers and recalling which ones have important data.  The tagging feature and the ability to annotate papers so they can be read by other trustees are what I really like.

I'm posting this mainly as a way of saying 'Thank You' to the people who run Menderley who have given us a free subscription for a year when we hit the (generous) limits on the number of papers you can store there for free.

Yes-the news of the buy out made my literally cry out in pain. I've been using Mendeley for several years...how long before proprietary values start creeping in...?

I know some of the techies at Mendeley as they use some of the same software I am interested in. But they left...
