Database and Citation Manager
JohnLKnight
database!. I'm looking for one that has 1) tags 2) autosave 3) import
documents.
I've looked through the various posts in this forum and played around
with a few programs, but can't find one with all three.
Evernote has 1 + 2, but, as far as I can tell, doesn't import
documents, such as word and PDF, and the text editor is not very
sophisticated.
Asksam has great import ability, but I find the traditional folder/file
system unappealing.
Ideally too, I'd like it to have a citation importer and manager. But
I think that's too much to ask at the moment, until perhaps Zotero
introduces 'integration with Microsoft Word and other word processors.'
Many thanks,
John,

there are 2 software tools which combine knowledge management and a
bibliographic database, you might have overlooked:
Citavi http://www.citavi.de
Bibliographix http://www.bibliographix.de
The drawback:
it seems that Bibliographix is only available with a german user
interface and the english version of Citavi (which is a very promising
app) seems not to be finished yet.
Maybe you want to have a look at them although.
I'm not sure if they can import documents.
There is also Devonthink (www.devontechnologies.com), which is only
available for MacOS (you seem to work on a PC?).
Maybe you'll find an alternative for MS Windows here

or here (complete search results

with Bibliographix you can switch between a German and an English user
interface. If you install at a non-German system, the English user
interface should be activated by default - but may of course be changed
later on demand. You can download the free basic version from
www.bibliographix.com

Because it runs through a web browser, it doesn't have 2) above but it
does have 1) and 3) and has the citation importer/manager you're
looking for. It is also free.
