I second that.

I'd also recommend using version 2 (still termed "beta" but so far
it's never let me down) if you ever switch between computers; it's got
this wonderful Sync option that keeps your reference lists on your
computers, well, synchronised. (Also, if you're working in a group of
people, you can make a shared library for that group, and of course it
exports and imports to all the standard formats and citation styles.)

And on top of all that, it's open source.


best regards,
Kevin
