I would use these two phrases in different ways, although they are very similar. "Noted by" usually means that the author (or speaker) made a special point to include the information, whereas "mentioned by" is more informal and could mean that the author included the information but did not emphasize it.

Yes Hoon, you have the right idea. As noted by, as mentioned by, as stated by can all be used in this context. Although 'mentioned' tends to refer to verbal use, to speak of something.
