Mendeley Fact Sheet - (lib.stanford.edu) include

It’s time we change how research is done.
Mendeley is a cross-platform application (Windows, Mac,
Linux, iPhone) that helps researchers manage and annotate
their scientific paper collections. Researchers can also set up
collaborative projects, work and discuss in groups, and share
data on Mendeley’s web platform.
Mendeley users’ research paper collections are anonymously
pooled on the web platform, creating a crowdsourced research
database with a unique layer of social information – each
research paper is connected with socio-demographic information
about its audience. This data is made available to the
public via Mendeley’s API, enabling research groups to build
applications on top of it.
A wealth of knowledge
Mendeley is now being used by over 500,000 researchers
worldwide (25% of which are in the US).
Our research database currently contains more than 38 million
records and is doubling every 12 weeks, setting Mendeley on
track to become the world’s largest research database by the
end of 2010.
