With many universities having a \u201cpublish or parish\u201d mentality, faculty and scholars took careful steps to conceal research in desk drawers promoting a very un-collaborative environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, research is changing, and the ability to search and share data and information is quite different as other platforms are helping scholars organize and navigate data. One such platform is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mendeley.com\/\">Mendeley<\/a>, who is changing the world of research for the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mendeley is one of the world&#8217;s largest research collaboration platforms, used by more than 1.6 million researchers worldwide. It is a free reference manager and academic social network that helps its users organize research, collaborate online and discover new research trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t<div class=\"banner-section wf-section\" lang=\"\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"right-column-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"bannerbg white\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"h1-2\">Create memorable experiences based on real-time data, insights and advanced analysis.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#userliteForm\" data-toggle=\"modal\" class=\"button w-button\">Request Demo<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"userlite-modal modal fade\" id=\"userliteForm\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"dialog\" style=\"display: none;\">\n\t\t<div class=\"modal-dialog\" role=\"document\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"modal-content\" role=\"document\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"modal-body\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"modal-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"close\" data-dismiss=\"modal\" aria-label=\"Close\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"material-icons\">close<\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"contact-us-form-wrapper contact-box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"userlite-form-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/userlite-form-blog-en.html?product=Research&amp;referralurl=https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5566&amp;lang=en&amp;cat=market-research\" style=\"display: block;\" ><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"demo-form-wrapper success-message-div\" style=\"display:none\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"success-message-para\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The online community provides real-time statistics, trends by research area, and recommendations for related research based on its crowd-sourced database of approximately 250 million research documents. The company gives control of research data back to the community in an effort to make research more collaborative, open, and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mendeley has one of the largest research databases in the world and now they are using the power of crowdsourcing, which involves outsourcing tasks to groups of undefined online users, to connect people with similar interests and highlight and recommends related papers for reading that might have been missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its crowdsourcing research mentality is now producing real-time data on content usage and providing brand new insights into how academics collect, read, share, and annotate research. What is this significant and how does it relate to traditional academic research? This new process of research presents a possible future for academic research where the focus is on collective knowledge. They are changing the way the research process occurs and are opening the doors of academic data to all researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, apps built using Mendeley\u2019s crowdsourced data are providing a greater understanding of content consumption and new metrics that measure the impact of research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is an exciting time when research \u2013 especially that which is academic in nature \u2013 has found a new way to reach people and is more accessible to all interested parties. The new method is a great compliment to traditional survey research, both online and offline. It will be interesting to see how universities and research institutions respond to Mendeley\u2019s successful crowdsourcing approach when conducing research in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It used to be that the only reputable research was academic studies that involved hidden research methods and concealing of
