I can’t say enough happy things about EndNote as bibliography software. It plugs into Word, saves all my references, and embeds parenthetical citations with a quick key combo, tracks them all and can flip between citation formats quick as can be.

Give the Dekstrus DNE a try. It is a new, large suite of research tools that can help manage the process from research to writing, including managing internet research, managing subdocuments (passages within the papers you’re writing, for instance), and let you manage your files in maps (create a map of a paper you want to write, then attach your files, web sources, subdocuments, etc., to different parts of the map to research more systematically. It’s very open-ended, but really well suited to academic work. And its full-colour 3D interface is pretty cool. It’s very expensive BUT there you can get it for free (you share some work you created with its help and you keep the software). Go to www.dekstrus.com and click on “Other Products”.

I use PDF Creator to create .pdf files. It is also a virtual .pdf printer, and has features that I like, such as changing the creator name (depending on whether or not I’m creating documents for work, volunteer work or personal use).
