Zotero, possibly?

Referencer looks like it might fit the bill:

Hi kanarip,

The Nepomuk project within KDE was designed with that type of goal in mind: letting you cross reference documents with other resources, including concepts, locations, events etc:
- http://nepomuk.kde.org
- http://doc4.mandriva.org/bin/view/labs/Mandriva_Smart_Desktop_2010-0?lan...

We're currently adding automatic referencing using natural language processing technology (http://www.scribo.ws), and designing an end user tool for drawing and browsing links more efficiently: http://doc4.mandriva.org/bin/view/labs/NPK-9 (still looking for a more friendly name for it)

The current Nepomuk UI is probably not mature enough for all your requirements yet, but it is likely to evolve fast now that the semantic infrastructure is sound and efficient.

There's also Zotero that you may have heard about? http://www.zotero.org/ We'll see how it can be integrated into the Nepomuk management system at some point.

Cheers

You could try zotero, http://www.zotero.org/, it's a firefox-extention that does wat you want. It also has a plugin for open-office, but I couldn't get that to work.

Hmm...

As you say, there's Papers, but that's out.

There's...Bookends...oh wait.
There's...Sente...nah.
There's...BibDesk...but it's still Mac only.

:)

About the only free software paper manager I can think, that actually runs on Linux, is Zotero.

There's PyBliographer, but...

To be honest I can't think of a free software solution that approaches the quality of the Mac/moneyware equivalents.

The best advice is that you can Wikipedia for any of these, and then you'll see the bar at the bottom that gives a list of common Document/Reference Management Software.

Hi. I was reading some Linux feeds and I saw your problem. I'm a phd student as well, and I use Zotero for document management and citation. Check it out at www.zotero.com Not only is it free (as in beer, don't know if it's free as in speech), but it also supports citation as you write. The best part is that it's compatible with OpenOffice. Hope this helps!

and don't think for a second, that because it is "Just" a Firefox add-on it is less than EndNote. In fact, there are universities (GMU, http://echo.gmu.edu/toolcenter-wiki/index.php?title=Firefox_Scholar_%28a...) which switched to Zotero completely even though it meant litigation with Thomson-Reuters (http://crookedtimber.org/2008/09/30/gmu-sued-for-zotero/). See also http://community.muohio.edu/blogs/darcusb/ who is a big promoter of FLOSS bibliography and Zotero.

KBibTex?
http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~fischer/kbibtex/
Packaged in Fedora as "kbibtex".

It's a legacy KDE 3 app, the KDE 4 port is not ready, but it works. :-)

There are also Referencer (GNOME-based) and xfbib (XFCE-based, looks quite new and rather minimalist), and if LaTeX and BibTeX are not your thing, you may be interested in Bibus.

I'm in a same problem, and suggested several times a bunch of solutions, but the truth is - most of them are for huge corporations web based DMS servers. Or for smaller corps...
I have digged out, that there is Referencer, JabRef, Zotero, and a bunch of other BibteX based software, but I vote for Referencer (http://icculus.org/referencer/).
However, I still say this is *not* fully what Papers provide. I hope this helps.
