George Mason University is working on a great tool for research citation libraries, called zotero - check it out.

Usually I use Endnote from Thompson - my University provides free access and its truly a life saver for the vast amount of papers one has to write in a doctoral program. But it has of course limitations. Zotero  adds some very nice and interesting features. Academic research is, both from a philosophical and practical standpoint, probably the most appropriate field for using open source tools accelerating the free flow of ideas and concepts.

For now, I won't ditch Endnote, but I can't wait to try the OpenOffice plug-in. Zotero for OpenOffice is promising and badly needed, and I just hope the plug-in will also work with NeoOffice. The fact that the zotero plugin for Mozilla works on a Mac is certainly a good step in that direction.

Let's see what Kevin has to say on the topic.
