Scholars! Your regular reminder not to use Mendeley to manage refs; this Elsevier product force encrypts your local database (lying that it’s for GDPR) so you can’t migrate to eg Zotero, leaving the only export via an online API they can kill whenever. zotero.org/support/kb/men… 
as the @zotero team notes, “Elsevier later stated that the change was required by new European privacy regulations — a bizarre claim, given that those regulations are designed to give people control over their data and guarantee data portability, not the opposite”.
I wonder why Elsevier wants to see, on their servers, copies of all the downloaded scholarly PDFs in the world…
