Groups in Mendeley are a powerful tool that enhances collaboration among researchers with Mendeley accounts. They enable you to share resources, discuss ideas, and work together on projects. You can create your groups in Mendeley Desktop or Mendeley Reference Manager.
Types of Groups
- Open: An open group will allow anyone to contribute, become a member, or follow.
- Invite-Only: This group allows you to share references, not files and can be viewed publicly.
- Private: Private groups allow members to share files and annotations. They are not visible to others outside the group, so read more about private groups and how to use them.
You can follow your groups from your Feed from your Mendeley Dashboard.
When you're in a group, use the Documents tab to view the shared references and the Members tab to view or invite members. This makes it easy to find what you need and manage your group effectively.
