JabRef seems to be the most popular around here. It runs fine under Linux, but you have to install Sun's JVM, as it won't work under Gnu's. One reason to prefer JabRef is that the developer of BibLaTeX, soon to be the new standard, is paying attention to JabRef.

Re: moving to linux...part3: preferred bibtex editor: Zotero
I use a combination of Zotero, a firefox plugin (www.zotero.org), and Jabref. In the future Zotero itself might hopefully be able to directly push citations to lyx which will probably mean the end for jabref on my laptop. Until now it has at least a direct copy function (ctrl+alt+c) which allows you to insert a citation in Bibtex format. At the moment I use Zotero to collect citations and pdf files (which is very easy with the built in attachment function. When I'm done I export the database from Zotero to Jabref (either via ctrl+alt+c or the export to Bibtex mode) and use JR only to store the database and to push to lyx. Zotero makes my life a lot easier as I'm able to manage my literature while browsing without having to klick around between several programs. The plugin is able to grab citations directly from webpages and from the most important online Databases (e.g. WebOfScience, Jstor, Blackwell, Wikipedia and many more) with one single click! Amazon is also supported which is very nice for books. I think Zotero is one of the most promising programs in the field of literature management. The only thing that I miss is a push to lyx function from within firefox. I've filed a feature request a while ago (http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/537/lyx-support/#Item_0) and one of the developers wrote that he thinks it wouldn't be very difficult to program a lyx integration for Zotero and they would guide someone through it. But I've got no programming experience at all, so I don't think that someone is working on that at the moment. Is there maybe someone here in lyx community who has the knowledge and is interested to make that work (and probably many scientists happy)? If one day Zotero can communicate with lyx I'm pretty sure that a whole bunch of MSWord/Endnote people would switch to lyx as the combination offers a huge potential to save some time and trouble when writing scientific papers. But thats just me dreaming ... :-) Cheers! Michael Ares schrieb: Here I am back with a new, silly question: what is the most favourite bibtex editor under GNU/linux?

Amazon is also supported which is very nice for books. I think Zotero is one of the most promising programs in the field of literature management. The only thing that I miss is a push to lyx function from within firefox. I've filed a feature request a while ago (http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/537/lyx-support/#Item_0) and one of the developers wrote that he thinks it wouldn't be very difficult to program a lyx integration for Zotero and they would guide someone through it. But I've got no programming experience at all, so I don't think that someone is working on that at the moment. Is there maybe someone here in lyx community who has the knowledge and is interested to make that work (and probably many scientists happy)? If one day Zotero can communicate with lyx I'm pretty sure that a whole bunch of MSWord/Endnote people would switch to lyx as the combination offers a huge potential to save some time and trouble when writing scientific papers. But thats just me dreaming ... :-) Cheers! Michael Ares schrieb: Here I am back with a new, silly question: what is the most favourite bibtex editor under GNU/linux?

So, let's go with the poll!
