Hi Jodi,

We're using Zotero. We like it because it's open source, but we've found that its syncing capabilities are simply not yet capable of handling a literature review as large as ours. But that's what we've got for now. Zotero references can easily be exported into many other formats.

Do you have some ideas?

Our question here is, what do we do with these conference articles? There is already a list of conference papers at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Academic_studies_of_Wikipedia#Conference_presentations_and_papers (WP:ACST), which currently lists around 230 conference articles. Here are some thoughts of what we could do:

* Merge the two lists. This would take too much time and effort, and since we're not going to actually review the conference articles, for us it's just not worth it. Of course, if someone else would like to do that, that would be great. The problem is that it's not a bit-by-bit job; since it involves merging tables, it seems to be an all-or-nothing operation.
What reference management software are you using? Perhaps there's a way to do this besides merging tables, or only merging 1 table with what you have...
