Zotero: Citation management and much-much more. Read more at http://www.zotero.org/
Use this program, which requires Firefox 2.0+, and you’ll be amazed at the magical powers of Zotero, but to full appreciate Zotero you probably need to integrate it with your word processor. If you use Microsoft Word you’re in luck, if you don’t well then this won’t work for you …, but you still can buy a lotto ticket. Honestly though, to fully appreciate Zotero’s capabilities you’ll have to suffer through constructing a Bibliography by hand at least once.
Zotero has a template that integrates Zotero with Microsoft Word (Mac and Windows). It’s really easy to install and will make you a Zotero slave. You can find this plugin at Zotero’s website:

The plug-in is really a Word Template and has been tested with Word 2004 for Mac and Word 2002 (Office XP) and 2003 for Windows. To install this you need to download the appropriate template and then move the file to a special folder on your computer.
Mac users need to move the template into the folder:
/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Startup/Word.
Windows users need to move the template into the folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\::username::\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\Startup
Zotero is certainly a terrific Bibliographic research tool, but isn’t it also an extremely powerful and flexible Bookmark manager too?
