“All the time we are very conscious of the huge challenges that human society has now – curing cancer, understanding the brain for Alzheimer‘s [...]. But a lot of the state of knowledge of the human race is sitting in the scientists’ computers, and is currently not shared […] We need to get it unlocked so we can tackle those huge problems.“

Mendeley by the Numbers
Mendeley – Set Access to Open
•Freely accessible under a Creative Commons license•Sharing a large corpus of open-licensed data•Allows third-party developers to build their own tools with the research data anywhere on the web, mobile devices, or desktop•Adds information about related research documents in public groups in which the document is being discussed
Laying the foundation for a whole new science
of making and spreading
of scientific knowledge
Mendeley – Set Access to Open
•Authors should verify copyright to self-archive•Does not contravene with copyright law
Mendeley encourages
self-archiving
•Synchronization from Mendeley to Institutional Repository
Exciting experiment
with Cambridge University
Mendeley – Set Access to Open
•Partnering with Science Exchange to help researchers, institutions, and funding agencies to independently validate their critical research findings•Findings published in PLoS and added to Mendeley•Replications published in PLOS ONE will link back to the original publications•The data from the studies will be hosted on figshare•Mendeley Reproducibility Initiative Group will host the papers, provide collection and article level analytics, and facilitate sharing and discussion of the papers
