style="color:var(--color-neutral-600);">Gaby Appleton is the Managing Director for Mendeley and Researcher Products at Elsevier. She leads an expert product management team in a mission to support millions of researchers with better digital information systems. The aim is to help them have more impact with their work and effectively demonstrate that impact, to stay up to date, to organize and share their knowledge, and to advance their career. She brings over 15 years’ experience to her role along with a passion for the world of research. We met with her to discuss the development vision for Mendeley.</span></em></p> <p><strong>Thank you for taking the time to discuss the development vision for Mendeley. How would you define that vision?</strong></p> <p>Our vision for Mendeley and indeed for all the Elsevier solutions is to contribute to improving the information system that supports research — an ecosystem of tools and data that addresses real challenges in researchers’ daily reality.</p> <p><strong>What informs that vision?</strong></p> <p>Above all, it’s informed by conversations with researchers, which is something I spend a lot of time on. Not that it is a hardship! Spending time with them is truly one of the highlights of my job. Hearing about ground-breaking research from people who are so enthusiastic about what they’re doing is inspirational.</p> <p>But it’s also essential. The Mendeley team that is responsible for defining our vision needs that open, honest contact with researchers.</p> <p><strong>Why are those conversations so important?</strong></p> <p>Because our development strategy has to focus on the problems we can solve for users. If we were doing something because it was exciting technologically but it didn’t address real challenges, then we’d be completely missing the point. We need to ground our development in researchers’ needs.</p> <p>That’s why we start by listening to gain insight into their challenges, then look at what the technology can do, and finally design solutions to those challenges.</p> <p><strong>What is the vision for Mendeley’s development that has come out of conversations with researchers?</strong></p> <p>Based on all the challenges researchers have talked about, we’ve adopted four principles to guide our development strategy: source neutrality, interoperability, transparency, and user control.</p> <p>Source neutrality means that researchers can use this information system to retrieve, store and disseminate information regardless of the publisher. An unbiased view is the essence of good research and we want to ensure that our platforms and tools are open to content beyond Elsevier’s. Mendeley users can receive recommendations on what to read next (<a href="https://www.mendeley.com/guides/web/05-mendeley-suggest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mendeley Suggest</a>) based on what they’ve already added to their library, and <a href="https://www.mendeley.com/funding" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img data-attachment-id="49517" data-permalink="https://blog.mendeley.com/2019/05/15/mendeleys-vision-for-supporting-researchers/funders-image/" data-orig-file="https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/funders-image.png" data-orig-size="740,554" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="funders-image" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/funders-image.png?w=300" data-large-file="https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/funders-image.png?w=740" class=" wp-image-49517 alignright" src="https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/funders-image.png?w=325&h=243" alt="funders-image" width="325" height="243" srcset="https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/funders-image.png?w=325&h=243 325w, https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/funders-image.png?w=650&h=486 650w, https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/funders-image.png?w=200&h=150 200w, https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/funders-image.png?w=300&h=225 300w" sizes="(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px" /></a>these recommendations are not limited to Elsevier – they can be from any publisher. And we don’t restrict that to papers. Researchers have talked about challenges with staying abreast of funding opportunities, so we’ve worked to provide one of the <a href="https://www.mendeley.com/funding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">largest aggregations of funding information</a>, maintaining source neutrality and transparency. The same applies to <a href="https://www.mendeley.com/careers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">career postings</a>.</p> <p>Interoperability is about ensuring that applications, tools and data sets from different providers can work together. <a href="https://blog.mendeley.com/2019/01/31/the-importance-of-interoperability/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Mendeley API</a> represents our commitment to interoperability with any tools that researchers need.</p> <p>Transparency is vital to researchers. If they receive an alert or recommendation, they need to know what prompted it. Otherwise, they can’t know if it’s relevant without spending time assessing it. If they are looking at search results, it’s great if they can see how their search string relates to those results. That helps with filtering and refining the hit set. An example of how we maintain transparency is in the functioning of <a href="https://www.mendeley.com/guides/web/05-mendeley-suggest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mendeley Suggest</a>. It makes recommendations for further reading based on what a user and their colleagues are reading, but crucially, it includes information about why that article is relevant.</p> <p>Control is all about giving researchers control of their own data, where it’s shared and how it’s used by the system. If they don’t want their data to be visible beyond a select group of users, or they don’t want their behavior to provoke recommendations, they should be able to opt out of those features. User control is all about making it easy for an individual to find the settings for preferences. A good example in our system is <a href="https://data.mendeley.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mendeley Data</a>, which makes it easy for users to define exactly who sees their data. Similarly, the organization, privacy and recommendation settings of researchers’ reference manager library are easy to control. What displays in a <a href="https://www.mendeley.com/guides/web/04-complete-profile" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mendeley Profile</a> is entirely at the user’s discretion.</p> <p>That’s where our development team constantly strives to take Mendeley: to keep it open to content from any source; to make sure its application programming interface is compatible with multiple tools and platforms; to give users insight into how its features make recommendations; and to ensure that it’s easy for users to set their preferences.</p> <p><strong>You’re currently developing a new reference manager, now available in BETA, which is a completely re-platformed and updated version of Mendeley’s core reference management function. How does it align with this vision for Mendeley?</strong></p> <p>I’ll leave it to my colleague Laura Thomson, our Head of Reference Management, to talk about the new <a href="https://www.mendeley.com/reference-management/reference-manager-beta?utm_campaign=MD+Ref+Man&utm_source=blog&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=beta&dgcid=RN_AGCM_Sourced_300003064" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mendeley Reference Manager</a> in more detail in her upcoming interview. Briefly, reference management tools are what we’re best known for. Mendeley Desktop is now ten years old and, while it’s developed incrementally over that time, to really act on users’ feedback and make some big improvements, we felt we needed to take a new <a href="https://www.mendeley.com/reference-management/reference-manager-beta?utm_campaign=MD+Ref+Man&utm_source=blog&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=beta&dgcid=RN_AGCM_Sourced_300003064" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img data-attachment-id="49519" data-permalink="https://blog.mendeley.com/2019/05/15/mendeleys-vision-for-supporting-researchers/rns_963_a-general-version-image-2/" data-orig-file="https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/rns_963_a.general-version-image-2.png" data-orig-size="288,338" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="RNS_963_a.General version image (2)" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/rns_963_a.general-version-image-2.png?w=256" data-large-file="https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/rns_963_a.general-version-image-2.png?w=288" class=" size-full wp-image-49519 alignleft" src="https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/rns_963_a.general-version-image-2.png?w=809" alt="RNS_963_a.General version image (2)" srcset="https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/rns_963_a.general-version-image-2.png 288w, https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/rns_963_a.general-version-image-2.png?w=170&h=200 170w" sizes="(max-width: 288px) 100vw, 288px" /></a>approach and take advantage of new technologies that have become available since the original Mendeley Desktop was built.</p> <p>The new Mendeley Reference Manager remains free-to-use and publisher agnostic. The Mendeley API remains open, allowing researchers and developers to create interoperability with multiple tools. We’ve ensured that the settings for the library, recommendations and so on are transparent and in researchers’ control. It’s unique in satisfying those four aspects of the vision for an information system supporting research.</p> <p>Every aspect of Mendeley follows the same principles and is informed by real-world conversations: from reference management through data sharing to showcasing impact.</p> <p>We would never pretend that we have all the answers, but we listen. We’ll continue to communicate with researchers as we work on each application of Mendeley. Our goal at Elsevier is an information system that supports research, and Mendeley aims to remain a core part of that.</p> <p><strong>Thank you very much for your time.</strong></p>

They rely on author services, which are often delivered by other academics; For example, by PhD students that edit papers as a freelance job. Performing these services can not only be an way to earn some extra money, it also allows people to gain experience and grow skills in effective scholarly communication.</p> <p>But academics and service providers often have difficulties finding each other directly and often depend on middlemen to get the work done. This means that services are more expensive than needed, and that people most of the time have no idea who actually performs the work.</p> <p><img data-attachment-id="48087" data-permalink="https://blog.mendeley.com/2016/01/08/academic-services-made-easy-mendeley-intergrates-with-peerwith/p-eerwith/" data-orig-file="https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/p-eerwith.png" data-orig-size="500,500" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="p-eerwith" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/p-eerwith.png?w=300" data-large-file="https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/p-eerwith.png?w=500" loading="lazy" class=" wp-image-48087 alignleft" src="https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/p-eerwith.png?w=160&h=171" alt="p-eerwith" width="160" height="171" />Peerwith wants to change this. Launched in beta in October 2015, the platform brings academics directly in contact with experts to take their academic work to the next level, increasing transparency and making these services more affordable.</p> <p>Academics don’t like creating another profile on yet another platform, so Peerwith wanted to integrate with a social network that is popular with clients as well as experts. Going for Mendeley integration was the obvious choice. What we have done so far is Mendeley authentication, which means that Mendeley users can sign-in using their Mendeley username and password. In the next few weeks, we hope to allow Mendeley users to import their full Mendeley profile, allowing users to showcase their full profile on Peerwith.</p> <p><img data-attachment-id="48089" data-permalink="https://blog.mendeley.com/2016/01/08/academic-services-made-easy-mendeley-intergrates-with-peerwith/screen-shot-2016-01-04-at-19-37-22/" data-orig-file="https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/screen-shot-2016-01-04-at-19-37-22.png" data-orig-size="1004,683" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="Screen Shot 2016-01-04 at 19.37.22" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/screen-shot-2016-01-04-at-19-37-22.png?w=300" data-large-file="https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/screen-shot-2016-01-04-at-19-37-22.png?w=809" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-48089" src="https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/screen-shot-2016-01-04-at-19-37-22.png?w=560&h=381" alt="Screen Shot 2016-01-04 at 19.37.22" width="560" height="381" srcset="https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/screen-shot-2016-01-04-at-19-37-22.png?w=300 300w, https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/screen-shot-2016-01-04-at-19-37-22.png?w=560 560w, https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/screen-shot-2016-01-04-at-19-37-22.png?w=200 200w, https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/screen-shot-2016-01-04-at-19-37-22.png?w=768 768w, https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/screen-shot-2016-01-04-at-19-37-22.png 1004w" sizes="(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px" /></p> <p>On Peerwith, clients can directly select the freelancer or supplier, assuring that the work will be done by the right expert with the right background and expertise.

This means anyone can integrate it with their Apps and tools. In fact the <a href="https://data.mendeley.com">Mendeley Data website</a> is entirely powered by the API, which means that you have access to the same API capabilities that we use to develop our web app.</p> <p>If you’re interested in working with datasets via our API, you can read our documentation <a href="http://dev.mendeley.com/methods/#datasets">here</a>. If you’re new to the Mendeley API, you can get started by visiting our <a href="http://dev.mendeley.com">developer website</a>, where you will find information about the API including authentication, documentation and examples.</p> <p>But wait, we’ve got one more festive present for you! An early adopter of the Mendeley Data API is <a href="https://www.hivebench.com/">Hivebench</a>. Hivebench is a digital lab notebook (DLN), which helps to plan and run experiments.

During the early years of my PhD, I loved using Mendeley on my desktop; but also wanted a way to read those papers when I was on the go. At the time, Mendeley did not provide any mobile applications (Android or iOS), but they did have the foresight to provide an API by which all of the documents/metadata/files/etc could be accessed. Motivated by my own paper reading needs, I decided to write an App for Android tablets (and later phones), which took advantage of this API in order to have ready access to my papers when and where I needed them. Thus was Scholarley born!</p> <p>Around the same time, other Mendeley Apps were being developed (such as Droideley and <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kmk.Referey">Referey</a>), each excellent in their own way; but each of them did not provide the features I needed. In time, Scholarley garnered a lot of attention, and continued to accrue ever increasing numbers of users up until the release of <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mendeley">Mendeley’s official Android App</a>; at which time it sported more than 37,000 active users. Many features were added into Scholarley at the request of keen users, whom I thank for their enthusiasm.</p> <p><a href="http://static.blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Scholarley1.jpeg"><img data-attachment-id="47640" data-permalink="https://blog.mendeley.com/scholarley1-2/" data-orig-file="https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/scholarley1.jpeg" data-orig-size="1280,800" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="Scholarley1" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/scholarley1.jpeg?w=300" data-large-file="https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/scholarley1.jpeg?w=809" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-47640" src="https://i0.wp.com/static.blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Scholarley1.jpeg" alt="Scholarley1" width="500" height="313" /></a></p> <p>However, Scholarley was never intended to implement all of Mendeley’s features. With the time and financial budget available to me during my PhD, implementing things like synchronised annotations and in-App PDF viewing were simply not feasible. Furthermore, I always understood that Mendeley would eventually develop and release their own Android application, which in my mind would supersede what I had the resources to provide. Thus, when Mendeley announced plans to work on an Android app, I deprioritised work on Scholarley; and when Mendeley did release their App, I deactivated Scholarley for new users in the Google Play store; and updated the App description to encourage existing users to adopt the new Mendeley App. I am confident that any genuine deficiencies or shortcomings of the official App (compared to Scholarley, which had many of its own) will be worked out in the fullness of time.</p> <p>Mendeley’s response to Scholarley’s existence and role has been great. Mendeley has on occassion updated or fixed problems with their API based on bugs that surfaced in Scholarley, and kept me abreast of upcoming changes; including the deprecation of the old API which Scholarley uses. While Scholarley could be updated to use the new API, I have chosen instead not to divide the user base, and to support instead the official App. The deprecation of the old API was scheduled to occur a long time ago, but when Scholarley was not going to be updated, they graciously have let the old API live on until the release of the official App; and indeed, even afterward as they grandfathered old users off Scholarley and into the official ecosystem. But the time has come.</p> <p>When the old API is disabled, Scholarley will cease to synchronise with Mendeley’s servers. You may continue to use it in offline mode, but you will not be able to download new papers or upload changes to old ones. The new official App is considerably more stable than Scholarley, and already supports in-App paper reading and metadata editing; with more features coming on a regular basis. Now is the time to move over to the official Android application.</p> <p>It would be remiss of me not to say, at this point, a heartfelt thank you to all those who have supported Scholarley with positive reviews, encouraging emails and/or financially. You have made the process of writing and maintaining the App enjoyable. But all good things come to an end, and the end for Scholarley has come.</p></blockquote> <p><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mendeley"><img data-attachment-id="47159" data-permalink="https://blog.mendeley.com/zlsl_bwbbgebtcsd6nijjqczmjge4uiezfsma_-lcwm/" data-orig-file="https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/zlsl_bwbbgebtcsd6nijjqczmjge4uiezfsma_-lcwm.jpeg" data-orig-size="1024,508" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="ZlsL_BwbBgebtCsd6NIjJqcZmjGE4UIEZfSMa_-lcWM" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/zlsl_bwbbgebtcsd6nijjqczmjge4uiezfsma_-lcwm.jpeg?w=300" data-large-file="https://blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/zlsl_bwbbgebtcsd6nijjqczmjge4uiezfsma_-lcwm.jpeg?w=809" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-47159" src="https://i0.wp.com/static.blog.mendeley.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/ZlsL_BwbBgebtCsd6NIjJqcZmjGE4UIEZfSMa_-lcWM.jpeg" alt="ZlsL_BwbBgebtCsd6NIjJqcZmjGE4UIEZfSMa_-lcWM" width="560" height="278" /></a></p> <p>We are incredibly thankful to Matt and his Scholarley creation as it filled a void for many Mendeley users. Scholarley has now been removed from the App store and the old API endpoints it uses will soon be removed. Please head over to the Play Store to get <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mendeley">Mendeley for Android</a>. As always, we’d love to know what you think.</p> <p><strong>Why did we need a new API? Couldn’t we just fix up the old one?<br /> </strong>The initial version of our API (often referred to as the OAPI) was a fantastic success, in terms of provoking interest and spawning some great clients, from mobile Mendeley clients such as <a href="http://www.papershipapp.com/">Papership</a> or <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.matthewwardrop.scholarley&hl=en_GB">Scholarley</a>, to some great ideas that Mendeley could never exploit internally, such as <a href="https://opensnp.org/">openSNP</a> or <a href="http://www.kinsync.com/">KinSync</a>. Unfortunately, the OAPI that we had, was no longer a technology enabler. It was brittle and resistant to change with a high maintenance overhead. We could not add new features or resource strategic projects.</p> <p>We wrote the new API (we recently celebrated it’s 1st anniversary) to increase security, add additional features, and link together the users, data, and apps of the existing Elsevier platforms so we can help researchers discover new research and help them with essential time consuming tasks and to increase the overall performance of the service. You can read about some of the features of version 1 <a href="https://mendeleyapi.wordpress.com/2014/07/15/welcome-to-the-mendeley-api-blog-2/">here</a>.</p> <p>So we are currently embarking on decommissioning our legacy systems. We have worked closely with clients (see <a href="https://mendeleyapi.wordpress.com/2014/10/14/retirement-plans-for-the-oapi/">OAPI Blackout Testing</a>) to ensure they have migrated onto the new API and in most cases all clients have taken the plunge and migrated.</p> <p>We’re very grateful to all our API clients, new and old, past and present.

The developer, Matthew Wardrop originally built the app for his own personal use but now would rather use the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mendeley&hl=en_GB">Mendeley client</a>. We wish him all the best and want to extend our thanks for his contribution.</p> <p>Speaking of contributions, we would like to give a special mention to an ex-colleague Matt T who went on to greener pastures. We can’t thank him enough for his technical wizardry in beginning our API journey.</p> <p>One a personal note, it has been a year of firsts for me. I gave my first meetup presentation, there was my first time using a microphone (still can’t believe someone let me have one), my first conferences (internal and external), and my first content panel discussion. Despite the stomach churning fear that I’ve felt for each one of these first timers; I am grateful to have had the opportunities.</p> <div class="embed-twitter"> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"> <p lang="en" dir="ltr">Possibly the geekiest thing I've ever seen. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/oxhack?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#oxhack</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Mendeley?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Mendeley</a> <a href="http://t.co/4g1vtUzRYZ">pic.twitter.com/4g1vtUzRYZ</a></p> <p>— Mendeley API (@mendeleyAPI) <a href="https://twitter.com/mendeleyAPI/status/538683439273504769?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 29, 2014</a></p></blockquote> <p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div> <p>The achievements of the last 12 months and beyond have been due to a massive team effort.

Just don’t call her an Evangelist, she hates that…</p> <div class="jetpack-video-wrapper"><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class="youtube-player" width="809" height="456" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2P0mJLL1YLM?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en&autohide=2&wmode=transparent&listType=playlist&list=PLw2QJJ5mQP4j765IlW_X-U2mSb60xiq-d" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe></span></div> <p>The latest step in this journey was to release an SDK (That’s Software Development Kit to you and me) to make things simpler for Android developers wanting to work with Mendeley. An early public access version is <a href="https://github.com/Mendeley/mendeley-android-sdk">now available on GitHub</a> which provides model objects and packages and takes care of authentication.</p> <p>We’ll of course be looking to improve the API because, as any good geek knows, no code is ever finished and we know there’s a long way to go! With that in mind please send us your feedback. You can email <a href="mailto:api@mendeley.com">api@mendeley.com</a> and reach out to <a href="https://twitter.com/mendeleyAPI">@mendeleyAPI</a> on Twitter.</p> <p>For all the latest news on the API
