Mendeley
<p>Mendeley is owned by Elsevier. That is enough information for me to stop using it as a bibliography manager. I have switched to <a class="wikilink" href="/zotero/">Zotero</a> a long time ago, and looking back, I should have always used it. </p>
<p>One of my biggest objections with this piece of software is how much information is syphoned back to Elsevier in order to build <em>bibliography metrics</em>. They suddenly have access to my entire interest tree, and can tune the offer of papers based on their own pool of journals. </p>
<p>Since I have been paying attention to <a class="wikilink" href="/choosing_technology_based_on_their_incentives/">Choosing technology based on their incentives</a>, I have never gone back to Mendeley.</p>
