 There is jabref which is a bibtex management program and can probably
 be abused for your purpose - i.e you can use the review entry for your
 notes

I was going to suggest BibTeX or some derivative. I am not familiar with
jabref, but even raw BibTeX knows how to ignore any field that is not
required or optional, so you can put your notes into some field, e.g.,
comment, of your own.

I don't know of an off-the-shelf tool that would do all you want havng
BibTeX as input, but a bit of scripting may take you a very long
way. There ar some open source tools that may be useful for your
purposes, e.g., bibtex2html.

 I don't know if there is a linux supported pdf markup program that
 will work with it as well, I think that the KDE one or something like
 that should work (they have notes on their site.

Okular certainly has notes.

Re: Literature documentation software

[Jason Friedman]

I use and recommend Zotero: https://www.zotero.org/ , I think it meets all
of your requirements. It was originally a firefox extension but now runs
standalone and will interface
with most browsers.

It will automatically obtain the bibliographical information and save the
pdf from most journal web sites, and interfaces nicely with word /
openoffice to generate citations / bibliographies
(and will export to bibtex if you prefer)

You can attach notes to your entries (I use this to write my article
summaries)
You can search your articles (including the full text if you like, it
extracts it using pdftotext)

It is open source and runs on linux, osx and windows. It will also sync
across different computers, and if you like you can share your library (but
not the pdfs) online via the zotero web site.

 I am preparing to do a (scientific) literature review, in which I am going
 to look for articles on a topic, read them, and summarize their important
 content.

 I would like to do it electronically, in an organized fashion, so I can
 also search and retrieve information later on. Right now, I print the
 articles, read and mark important parts, and then write up the content in a
 text document.

 My ideal program would have fields for the article name, source (journal,
 web address, etc.), authors, link to original article (i.e. the pdf file I
 will save or either a link or a copy of the web page in case of an html
 page) and summary/comments which I will enter.

 There should be some searchable record keeping system, where all the
 articles will be listed and be searchable by field (say, all articles from
 Washington Post, or Lancet, etc.).

 If it is online, it would be nice to be able to share access to a document.

 Can you recommend a program that does that, on Linux or online?

 Thanks,

 Z.

 Off topic, but may be interesting:

 I heard recently that it is now legal for the security checks in the Ben
 Gurion airport to require that I show my mail account.
 I don't understand how they could possibly enforce this. Can't the
 person tell them he *doesn't* have an email address? Is having an email
 address a legal requirement nowadays?
I think you are treating this the wrong way. You are thinking of it as
if it was a security screening. This is, in actuality, an intelligence
gathering operation. I will be the first to admit I'm just guessing
here, but I believe the people being asked to provide their email are
not randomly selected people, but rather people whom the interrogator
already knows, and knows not only that they do, in fact, have an email
address, but also what it is and where it is hosted.
