Has anybody had any recent experience with software that can be used for
bibliographies? I am now using Tracker but it is not only slow (stack-oriented)
but will not format properly, and lacks the capability to interact with the
manuscript to fill in items. Reference Manager seems to have that but cannot
handle non-medical science items: what, for example, do you do with an item
from the NY Times? From my reading of the Ref Man manual, it seems it will not
permit you use conventional footnotes either. Ideally, I would like to have an
assistant simply translate my present Tracker material into a new biblio
database that can interact with a manuscript, prefereably, but if not, will at
least permit a variety of formats beyond the scientistic, and which is rather
fast. Your experience please, and your opinions. Thanks.--
