And you don;t have to do manual entry too, just throw in the author last name and part of the title and it would grab the rest of the info for you.

It also locates PDFs of your collected stuff. Very cool

You could try WizFolio Web 2.0. It’s been really cool for me.

For filling bibs, it gives you three ways:
1) capturing directly from webpages (zotero has this too)

2) fill in only part of the title and author name and retrieve matching search results. in other words, rather that type all the bib in, u just need to type in a little info to retrieve a match.

3) importing whatever you’ve copied on to your clipboard <– this is what i like best, because I just need to copy references from PDF and it’ll automatically be added.

and yes, it also has a cite-as-you-write function that works with Word 2003 and 2007. When I insert citations into Word, my Bibliography is automatically generated!

Last, WizFolio is web-based. What I do now is upload my PDFs to my online account. it makes it really convenient to read these articles from home or school. No sweat!

When I compile my lyx document half of my references disappear. It only prints the first page of references. What is going on? Please can someone help?

That’s formatting, though. a reference manager is a different story. I love BibDesk on the Mac. On linux, KBibTex or Bibus is probably where it’s at.

i must say that it most be encouraged because several things miss.

That said i must say that I wrote my Master’s thesis in OpenOffice with the bibliography done using Bibus. I wrote my fnal graduate work in latex using Bibtex.

Yeah, I went from Latex to OpenOffice, and mostly because bibliography in Bibtex can be a pain, with lots to learn - and face it, not everyone is computer literate and has free time to learn like that. With Bibus i installed it set the integration with OpenOffice and choose what style of bibliography I wanted. Then, when i reach a point in my work in openoffice i change my window to bibus, select the reference and select insert, he can take care of everything else.
I know it can be intimidating and sometimes go a bit weird but i tried several alternatives and liked it.

Note: I cheated a bit because I use ISI Web of Science and i select my articles and put them in my EndNoteWeb, and the I export them simply to Bibus - PubMed doesn’t have that many references that i need.
