Mendeley Data: comprehensive research data management for institutions
Data management is about more than just compliance: there are clear benefits to be derived from effective solutions. These include:
- Improved quantity and quality of research output
The pace of research increases and the credibility of papers improves when the underlying research data are made available for evaluation. - Increased research exposure and impact
When research data is readily available, article exposure and impact both increase, leading to more views, shares, mentions and citations. - Increased collaboration
Shared data is an excellent starting point for further collaboration, as researchers can more easily see how results were obtained and exchange informed views on analysis and interpretation. - Improved compliance
With a secure and user-friendly platform for data publication and sharing, it’s easier to show the benefits of data sharing and ensure that all researchers help with institutional compliance with funder mandates.
To help universities unlock the full potential of data, the Mendeley Data platform is now designed to fully support researchers, librarians and research administrators with integrated workflow tools for the full data lifecycle. Its five modules integrate with more than 35 repositories and a variety of other data management workflow solutions.

It’s provided me with a place to publish datasets that otherwise wouldn’t be published. All my data comes from CUREs and aren’t attached to major journal articles or large universities that utilize other paid storage sites.

It is an excellent opportunity to share our data with a wide audience of scientists around the world. It is necessary to make our research more transparent, that increase the chance to publish our research reports in the best journals on the world.

Go from raw files to published datasets
Data Manager is an active research data collaboration and workflow tool that enables individual researchers and groups to organize, annotate and share data all in one place.
Store datasets in a secure & trusted repository
Data Repository is the institutional module that enables all researchers within a given institute to post, share, archive, showcase and discover research data.
Capture data and results in the lab
Data Notebook is a cutting-edge electronic lab notebook (ELN) solution that supports data capture and reproducibility, improves researcher efficiency, and enables one-button reporting to all levels of the organization.
Retrieve active data, discover public data
Unlike other search solutions that only index metadata, Data Search deeply indexes data from over 20 repositories, making it easier to accurately find relevant data — and the list of repositories covered is growing.
