Reference management, bibliography management, citations and a whole lot more.
Designed by academics for academics, under continuous development since 2003, and used by both individuals and major research institutions worldwide, WIKINDX is a Virtual Research Environment (an enhanced on-line bibliography manager) storing searchable references, notes, files, citations, ideas, and more. An integrated WYSIWYG word processor exports formatted articles to RTF and HTML.
Plugins include a citation style editor and import/export of bibliographies (BibTeX, Endnote, RIS etc.). WIKINDX supports multiple attachments with each reference, multiple language localizations, and uses a template system to allow users to visually integrate WIKINDX into their sites.
WIKINDX runs on a web server giving you and your research group ownership and global access from any web-enabled device. You manage your database, you own your data.
WIKINDX can be test-driven at: https://testdrive.wikindx.com

Moved away from Zotero to Wikindx on a personal RasPi server which is now accessible anywhere. Amazing feature set, 10/10 would recommend (especially since I believe true data ownership is the most crucial thing in Academia/Research). Granted, you do need minor knowledge of how web dev and databases work, which can be learnt quick or be expedited to any IT department. I was able to do it, since I work in CompSci, but this can be a deterrent to people in other fields maybe. Regardless, the setup is quite quick and easy as long as the documentation is followed to a T, especially if you're on a UNIX-based system (Linux or macOS, for example).Reply from WIKINDX

Best app for managing bibliography and creating base for scientific papers

After some problems with the initial installation, but with the excellent support of the team, I am very happy to have this tool running on my server. All features needed are there, now I just need to fill the database. CMS is working with wordpress and a small (unofficial) plugin. My recommendation for the installation: use SVN!

Knocks spots off commercial software. And I'm amazed I'm allowed to review my own software ;)

Best bibliographic tool out there. Tried a few others, but this is definitely the best, considering features and extensibility. Thumbs up!
