It’s too bad there isn’t a Safari extension. Can you suggest another alternative that’s similar to Citelighter? Thanks!

A helpful tool indeed. As a student myself, I agree that most software aimed to assist students only complicates things further. It’s simple ones like these that actually work.

Hi all!
I thought that JabRef in conjunction with Lyx was weapon of choice for managing references and formatting papers. I have only used it a couple of times for lab reports. You can create “libraries” of references in JabRef that can be later cited when needed in Lyx. I haven’t tried using it in conjunction with Word.
I must say that it is initially difficult to learn, but after you see all you can do with it is hard to go back to MS Word.
Does anybody use something else for managing references, and writing much like Citelighter?

Zotero is hands down better than Citelighter. I have no official ties to them but I sing their praise everywhere because of how much easier they have made my research life.

As a nurse hoping to publish this coming year, Citelighter will be extremely helpful – thanks for sharing and for your philanthropic attitude re: ads.
