Elsevier Has Bought Mendeley

I'm curious, since I was just starting research and was going to need a tool like this, what options are there? I've already used Mendeley a bit, but that was before I really needed a serious bibliography, so I didn't use most of the features. What else is out there in a similar vein?

There's a large comparison table of the many reference management tools out there on wikipedia. It's not very very up-to-date but will provide for some good links and overview: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_reference_managem...

I've heard a great deal of praise for Papers App (Windows, OS X, iOS) [1]. It'll cost you quite a bit though--$79.

There's a 40% discount for (undergraduate) students, making the price $47. I bought it when it was in Public Preview in '07, and love it.

The ability to sync with the app on my iPad mini is really nice, as it means that I always have immediate access to any paper I might want to refer to in conversation, regardless of whether I have an Internet connection.

If you're on a Mac you should check out BibDesk.
