Hello Alexandre, Two options that may be of interest are Zotero and Mendeley. Both are distributed at no charge. I think Zotero is open-source, and Mendeley is not. http://www.zotero.org/ http://www.mendeley.com/ Also, for what it's worth, the English language version of Wikipedia has an article that compares many different reference management programs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_reference_management_software the article has links to several other articles reviewing options for bibliographic software. cheers, George ____________________________________ George S.
