I searched for a famous book which was first published in 1943 and which has been reprinted innumerable times since then. To my surprise the book itself wasn't there, but instead I found scholarly journal articles ABOUT the book.
Citation plugins for MS Word, OpenOffice (?) and LibreOffice need to be installed/activated extra. If you use other and better word processors such as Nisus Writer Pro, Mellel or Scrivener, you're completely out of luck: there seems to be no easy way to enter citations and automatically create bibliographies in anything else than in Microsoft Word and LibreOffice. You can do it manually by copy and paste, of course, but who would want to do that? Zotero doesn't have this glaring omission. For this reason I give Mendeley only 1 star. For citations and bibliographies I recommend Bookends. It's extremely versatile and has the best support I have ever experienced by any software company.
You are simply adding a comment onto my comment, without adding any more information yourself.So, I'm left wondering why bother commenting on a 15 month old comment (NOT review).
If you require a response from, at that point in time, Sept, 2014 - neither Mendeley or Zotero were fulfilling my needs across Mac, iPad and iPhone.
In addition, I wanted to use my research library when publishing with wordpress, so the state of access to Mendeley and Zotero via plugins was (still is) important.
At that point in time, Paperships had a great iOS client and allowed accessing both libraries. The syncing of annotation features in iOS Paperships was (15 months ago) more reliable on my setup.
15 months later, the Mac Desktop version of Papership has not really developed - Both desktop version of Mendeley & Zotero have developed, with a least a few of the niggles, that I encountered in my workflow being fixed.
I have tried and unfortunately still have to use a number services to catalogue my research references. Zotero, Mendeley, RefME, Bookends, Sente, etc.
Portability and syncing between the services is therefore pretty crucial. The Bookends iOS app, "Bookends on Tap" did not cut it for me 15 months ago. It's improved, but still no 'cloud solution'.
Re: Papership - the point has not changed in 15 months, same comment "access to both my Mendeley and Zotero libraries".
