I have always made entries in Reference Manager (http://www.refman.com/) to document the titles for downloaded files and webpages. I have a titling system and everything goes into one folder for easy access and that system works fine for me. However, I have to admit that I really like the look of some the programs you've suggested here, particularly Papers. Are their any good PC based solutions? No I don't own a Mac...not yet.

I've just started wrestling with this problem, too. I've been experimenting with Journler (http://journler.com/) and Yojimbo (http://www.barebones.com/products/yojimbo/), both for Mac. Journler is donationware, but you can get a student discount for Yojimbo. Right now, they're looking the same to me, but maybe 30 days will tell the difference. :) I'd love to hear what other people are using, too.

You can really use any database program to organize things. If you are a mac user, I use something called DevonNotes (www.devon-technologies.com), it handles any kind of format, and its a good way to take notes. Papers, like Jeremy suggested, is also a good mac application. I've also experimented with using a personal wiki, but that's still in its early stages.
The key is to think about exactly what you need, and then look around and find a program that is close to what you're thinking of. There are actually a lot of programs out there for this application. I'm interested in what other's use.

I am a Ph.D. student and currently arranging research material for my thesis proposal and dissertation. In my research, I am coming across a vast number of online sites and offline material. Usually, I save them as documents and organize them as files and folders in my study area or computer. However, I was wondering if there is any academic software that could manage, categorize, and coordinate research, conferences, publications, calender, appointments, etc in a strategic manner.
For organising publications, take a look at Papers: http://mekentosj.com/papers/. You *do* have a Mac, right? ;-)
For some of your other requirements, look at OpenGroupware.org: http://www.opengroupware.org/en/applications/index.html.
