Do you have any questions regarding Open Access? Feel free to check out this newly refurbished and updated information platform!
The open-access.net platform now provides even more comprehensive information on the subject of Open Access and offers practical advice on its implementation.

Besides descriptions of the basic ideas of Open Access, you can also find detailed information regarding publishing, financing, legal issues and policy frameworks, as well as coordinated training workshops focusing on specific topics.

As its name implies, the OA Network can also be used for networking purposes such as Digital Focus Groups, Forums, or Events.

The new Mendeley Reference Manager

Posted on by

Mendeley has changed the research workflow of reference management with its new version. Some features have been summarized, improved and redesigned.

What’s new in Mendeley Reference Manager:

  • Automatic synchronization allows to work from multiple locations and devices, thanks to cloud-based library.
  • Working in offline mode is possible due to automatic synchronization of your library when you are back online.
  • Improved Mendeley Web Importer
  • New citation add-in, Mendeley Cite for Microsoft Word

The still available Mendeley Desktop will be replaced by Mendeley Reference Manager in the long run. When exactly this will happen has not been determined yet (but already with the upgrade to macOS 11 Big Sur, Mendeley Desktop will no longer be supported).
