I am still refining my literature organizational system, but basically it involves 3 steps:

* '''review''' (annotate & highlight selected papers and incorporate into the [[Diagnostic Kits#Bibliography|Diagnostic Kits Bibliography]]
In particular, I am still looking for the perfect solution for organizing the triage step.  I've tried:

I like using papers the most overall, I like how effortless grabbing citations is with Zotero, and I like how Mendeley can synchronize PDFs between multiple computers and collaborators. Other Notes:

Alas.
* Zotero can convert references into the mediawiki citation format by drag and drop, but the family of cite templates must be installed in mediawiki; see [http://evernote.com/pub/macowell/icp#Note/514ec54a-ab5c-4fa8-a638-58af29869429 my notes on how to install the cite templates].

Resume

I am developing cheap, reliable, and simple molecular biology techniques and DIY-equipment for amateur biotechnologists.
I am one of the founders of a community of amateur biologists called diybio.org, for people who want to understand, and in some cases, re-engineer the living world, in a safe, economic, and fun way.
