[Air-l] Citation Managers - Alternatives to Endnote/CiteULike/... ?

[Baden Hughes]

I use JabRef (Java based open source tool, jabref.sf.net) which stores 
references in BibTex - suitable for my preferred authoring environment 
LaTeX, but allows import/export in numerous formats for when I'm 
writing with Word templates. JabRef allows you to create quotations as 
part of the bibliographic record, and has a very effective search 
mechanism. There are many styles for presenting a BibTeX based 
bibliography, including APA, MLA and others. JabRef also allows for 
multiple URLs for the same resource: typically I print to full text PDF 
and store locally with a URI, plus reference the remote source. For my 
local copy, I use Terrier (http://ir.dcs.gla.ac.uk/terrier/) as the search 
tool (unerstands binary formats like doc, pdf). YMMV.
