Best software for writing research papers?

[Li]

Long research papers are killing me, in part because I don't have a good
method down for writing them.

I checked out EndNote, but wasn't crazy about it. I'd like something
that would allow me to both record the references as well as write in it.

What's works best for you?

thanks,

Liora

Hi Liora
You might want to have a look at
http://bibliographic.openoffice.org/biblio-sw.html#Scholars and follow
up some of the links from there. I am not sure but I think Nota Bene ,
Scholar's Aid or Bibliographix might be a bit like what you are looking
for.

Another interesting tool and one which I have used a bit is TakeNote!

OpenOffice.org is a rather nice office suite that hopefully in a year
or two will have a decent bibliographic component as well but at the
moment the Bibliographic component is not good enough for real work.
