Bibus and OpenOffice.org Looks like Endnote to me
A student wanted a Linux laptop so that he could
run Bibus,
a F/OSS reference management tool that talks to OpenOffice.org.
It's not part of Ubuntu, but there's a Debian version, so it installs
with a couple of clicks. It took me a minute to figure out how
to insert citations, but I did. It looks pretty easy. And it created
what appears to be a correctly formatted bibliography. I can't get
the BibTeX import to work (I keep my stuff in BibTeX), and the export
that JabRef did of my
database (of some 2000+ references) didn't seem to include the
journals. This may still be a decent tool for me when I'm forced to
create word processing documents, and it's likely a worthwhile tool
for you if you don't already have 2000 items in a database using
another tool that you really, really like.
