I've used Jabref for my thesis bibliography, and it's mostly been fine. I've used it from both Windows and Fedora Core 4. The sorting and searching work well, and I like the way it makes your DOIs and PDFs click-through-able with icons in the main list. I like how it integrates with LyX via

I've tried a whole lot of these GUIs, and Pybliographer (http://pybliographer.org/) is by far my favorite. Pybliographer is written in Python, but with a Gnome GUI. I don't know if it actually needs more than the GTK libraries. If it does, then that should be fixed, as there's really no reason it

I use JabRef on Mac OS X, which I chose initially because it interfaces with LyX. I am mostly happy with it. My two complaints are the same as Charles de Miramon's: JabRef is a little slow and you have to get rid of ASCII characters with diacritics in your bibliography before you convert

Hi! I've tried both Pybliographer and JabRef and I liked them both quite well. But then I had some trouble with both of them, they didn't really let me do everything I wanted, or maybe I didn't have the patience to learn how to do it. And like several others I had problems with non-ascii

I'd encourage everyone who's had this problem with non-ascii characters to submit bug reports. It is the ambition of most open source projects to be internationalized, but I have the sense that people are still getting up to speed with unicode. I know that, even for my own small projects, I still
