100GB of storage to create a personal library, instead of 2GB in the free version. 100GB of storage for research groups, instead of 100MB in the free version (the space is taken from the account of the person who created the group). Share research, by creating an unlimited number private groups for exchanging documents, with up to 100 member (instead of five private groups with no more than twenty five members in the free version).If you have a Free account and want to upgrade to Mendeley Institutional Edition before entering Mendeley, activate the E-Resources Access Service (SIRE) identification.
