Two needs new features for citations and bibliographies

Nick Semenza · Guest

I found the bibliography function and libraries and those are absolutely
fantastic. There are 2 improvements that can be made to these:

1) I am a geology grad student and am supposed to be creating my list of
sources in GSA format. I understand that every format on the planet can't be
included, there NEEDS to be a system to create new formats and save them. I
searched the user comments and found that unless I am a XML wizard, this is
pretty much impossible with the current version.

2) I upload all my references into Citeulike.com. This is a web-based
OpenSource website/program that works similar to EndNote (it was recommended
to me by a librarian). There should be a way to download or import from
systems such as EndNote or Citeulike into Word. I know that Citeulike will
import/export in BibTex or EndNote format. If Word would import these BibTex
text file, that would be fabulous and save me the hassle of retyping in all
my resources. I am pretty sure that BibTex is a fairly standard format. At
least it is in EbscoHost databases and Citeulike

*I am about to embark on a Master’s Thesis that will have pages and pages of
resources.
