Elsevier's Mendeley Data product is attractive, easy to use, and functional. Nevertheless, its relatively late entry onto the research data repository landscape means that it lags behind competitors in terms of number of datasets published, search functionality, sharing features, and citation features. Further integration with Elsevier's lab bench notebook HiveBench, as well as forthcoming integration with Elsevier's research profiling tool Pure, may increase the appeal of Mendeley Data for researchers seeking a seamless, unified workflow.
