Dear friends,
I have recently posted a question on open reference manager softwares
("Indication of Free Reference Manager Software").
Below I post the answers I got. Zotero and Mendeley were the most
cited programs. Thanks to everybody who wrote.
Best whishes,
Alexandre

I am also looking for similar software, and found this page on
wikipedia:

I like Bibdesk (http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net/) but it only works with
Macs. I also use LaTeX, which BibDesk is designed for.

I like zotero, see www.zotero.org
I have had great luck with Zotero (www.Zotero.org) and it integrates
into Word, OpenOffice and web browsers. Good luck and hope that helps.
I use Zotero and highly recommend it. I stopped using EndNote as soon as
this came out. The best part is that if the citation output format does
not exist for a journal you are submitting to, you can modify and
existing one easily as they are in an XML format. In addition, people
post ones they create to the Zotero website all the time. I especially
like the interface to Firefox.

Try:
http://jabref.sourceforge.net/
I've used it on linux and mac systems.
Works great.

Mendeley. It's great! ( http://www.mendeley.com/ ). It's a
free program, although they plan on transitioning to a paid format
some time in the future. However, my understanding is that the
program itself will always be free; you will in future be able to pay
for storage space online if you want to keep the pdfs from your
library on their servers.
Mendeley is great, free, and easy to use: it's an itunes-like reference
manager that I prefer to EndNote. www.mendeley.com
I use Mendeley. It is still a little glitchy and does crash a bit. But
I like what it does and I hope it will only improve

As a linux user I am all about the freeware :). I've never tried it but
JabRef comes with the recommendation of some Ubuntu forum users. You can
find it here:
http://jabref.sourceforge.net/
I usually use JabRef, which provides similar functionalities to
commercial software. However, it is not very user-friendly and it is not
linkable to Microsoft applications. It works best with Latex.

If you are familiar with the OpenOffice (free) alternative to
Microsoft's
Office suite (http://www.openoffice.org/), you might try looking into
CiteProc (http://bibliographic.openoffice.org/citeproc/index.html).
Although I haven't tried it yet, I have been meaning to. It looks like
it
will do all the things EndNote or RefWorks would, but it's free,
open-source software. I use OpenOffice and have been very pleased with
