• Not entirely online
• Web Importer does not consistently capture references and full text documents. You will have to import references and download/attach full text documents about 80% of the time or drag and drop downloaded pdfs.
• Cannot generate standalone bibliographies. You either have to create one while writing a Word document, or copy and paste the references you want from Mendeley desktop into a Word document.
