Bib(La)TeX is the one true solution.

As a reference manager? I just use sticky notes that I place on a second monitor.

That way you can just stick the sticky notes on your paper at the end, genius!

Surely you meant Better BibTeX.

I might misunderstand, but isn't that just a format? How do you manage and organize with Bibtex like in Zotero?

I'm a plain text files lover. When I was a PhD student I just created a big ass .bib file that I wrote by hand and used for my articles and my thesis, organized by type with keywords.

But I don't know if that would have been livable if i continued as a researcher after my PhD.

Meanwhile, my advisor: you will buy endnote and you will like it because that's what I use.
