Mendeley has released new features that will make the researcher’s life a bit easier. The updated version adds ease to your search experience and be on a first name basis with your references. Users can now search for authors by their first name in the library search. Besides, the updated Mendeley Reference Manager allows to organise your library like a pro and sort your references by file, which means you can put all references with a file attached at the top. And if you want to turn a sub-collection into a parent collection, you can simply drag a sub-collection to “Collection” and just like that it becomes a parent collection.

Zotero allows to move citations between Google Docs, Word, and LibreOffice
Zotero, the scientific paper management program, has introduced a new feature that allows users to transfer documents between Google Docs, Word and LibreOffice with maintaining active Zotero links.

To use this feature, Zotero converts references and bibliography into a temporary format that ensures secure transfer between word processors. To get started, select "Switch to another word processor..." in the Zotero plugin's document settings window, save the converted file, open it in the other word processor and click Update to continue working. Google Docs users can also select "Switch to another word processor..." from the Zotero menu.
