Mendeley is supported by Elsevier, closed-source, and has premium-only features only for institutional users. Its publisher affiliation is important, when you see things like "Mendeley supports responsible sharing."

Zotero is the full package, GPL, the only premium service is extra data for syncing with their server (not necessary if you only have one client). None of this Orwellian hinting about keeping researchers from using libgen.



Yeah. Was just sharing it because it's what I used 5 years ago for my PhD. Worked well at the time and I found it useful. I don't think Elsevier owned it then. Got heavily down voted so I'll take the hint :)

Reading about Elsevier now and I understand the objection. Thanks.
