Tools that allow
creating, managing, organising and displaying journal articles or book
references easily retrieved from a database, journal, website, etc. apart
from generating bibliographic lists attending to different standards

Working with BMA applications, importing new data can be done in three different ways:

Classification of BMA applications

Some authors apply this term to some of the pioneers companies in this field. These are:
EndNote 7 (perhaps the most spread one), ProCite, and Reference Manager

The first BMA created by Thomson Reuters (almost completely replaced by EndNote)

BMA developed by Thomson Reuters which allows you to access
specialised scientific communities created to discuss different topics, share references,
annotate pdfs, and unlimited online storage. It automatically searches for updated reference info.

Created by Thomson Reuters, a famous electronic journals provider, it is a very complete tool
although its use requires having previous knowledge on bibliographic management, due to its
highly professional interface

These BMS applications present their results by means of using hyperlinks. Examples: Refworks, Zotero, and Mendeley. The main idea of tools like Mendeley and Zotero is to share with other users.

This BMA application
needs a license previously paid by the Institution, and permits the direct exportation from many
databases with several references at the same time

An open source application with a mobile version and a standard version (as a Firefox extension)

Thanks to its web importer, it is easy to import references from several academic sites. You can synchronise your recorded
data with the local one in a personalized manner.

One of the possible disadvantages of this MBA application is that it is full of advertising.
