Dear AoIRers, I'm wondering if any of you can suggest useful alternatives to research citation manager tools such as Endnote or CiteULike. My approach to research is to store key quotations from a source alongside the bibliographic reference, but none of the standard tools I have come across seem to do this particularly effectively (e.g. in Endnote, the best available workaround appears to be to create an additional field for quotes in the bibliographic record, but this is clunky and doesn't work very well with multiple quotes stored against the same record). My preferred workflow would be a two-step process: 1. Create a primary bibliographic record for the source, e.g. [2] Graham Meikle. _Future Active: Media Activism and the Internet_. New York: Routledge, 2002. 2. Create (multiple) quotations as secondary records stored against the primary one, e.g. [2.1] "People who hope to draw attention to issues can use the Net in a host of ways, but few are effective without the eventual participation of the older media." (5) [2.2] "One way to measure the success of many of the projects . is to ask how effectively they can use the Net to force their cause onto the agenda of the mainstream media." (8) etc. Are there any tools (preferably open source, possibly Web-based) which do something along these lines ? Obviously I'm also keen on functionality to convert references automatically into a number of referencing styles (MLA, APA, etc.). Failing this, the best alternative I can see is to use a tool such as CiteULike for the primary references, and create an additional database which stores quotations against the CiteULike references, but this seems kludgy at best. Hopefully there's a better solution ? Any suggestions would be appreciated, and if there's any interest I'll post a summary of what I find... -- Dr Axel Bruns a.bruns@qut.edu.au - http://snurb.info/ Media & Communication Musk Ave, Kelvin Grove, Qld. 4059, Australia Creative Industries Faculty Z2-202, CIP - (07) 3864 5548 Queensland University of Technology CRICOS No.: 00213J
