  Pros

  Many, many features allow sorting or searching against all attributes. Updates have links to external databases, and can grab the references in .ris format.

  Cons

  What seems to work best for archives is a single .bib file, but now mine is over 1000 items. Occasionally, it just winks out. There are some "quirks" with importing entries, but this process has been smoother on recent updates.

  Summary

  I used to edit .bib files in a text editor. BibTeX let me forget those days!

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />If you use BibTex you need this program. If you don't, you need to use bibtex so you can use this program. Anyone who uses LaTeX at all. This makes references management a breeze. I don't know how I would get along without it. Thanks.

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Makes the usually annoying tasks of arranging references, related pdf files and urls, and the writing of the bibtex file into pleasure. The recent features of importing/exporting various formats and automatic cite key generation are great. The recent versions are very stable. The price is great too.

• Great application

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />As a PhD student in finance, I've found BibDesk indispensable. It auto-files journal articles, generates cites, and helps me keep track of what I've read/annotated. Without it, I'd be significantly less productive and organized.

• Wonderful!

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />If you use BibTex you should absolutely get this. Best analogy I can think of is iTunes for references (including managing files in an intelligent way).
