software for research paper

[SPinc33]

Do any of you know of good (preferably free) software for organizing sources for a long research paper? I have books, articles, old government docs (in JPG) and more that I'd like to catalog somehow by keyword, author, title and more.

Any tips??

I don't use anything free, no. But off hand, you can check out Yep and Pages, both pdf-management software. I use iPhoto for managing scans with keywords and smart folders. And Lifehacker.com had a post on using iTunes of all softwares as a free pdf-management application. Just do a google-search for these things.

I had passed my research paper and graduated last year with using my favorite software in writing a research paper. Know what does software it is? That was a PDF and text document. It allows me to similarly organize documents my created or downloaded research paper for easier referencing.

Bibdesk is free and may be able to do what you need. Whoops old thread.

Papers is good not free. Skin is free.
