Zotero vs EndNote opinions
Consistent research sources management. No hidden fees. Nice UI.
JohnFastmanProbably the best open source alternative to Endnote, even though it does lack some functionality. Most notably, it lacks the ability to make composite references (ie reference 1 a)... b)... c...). However, from a privacy perspective and the fact that its excellent browser plugins can save information conveniently, it's still highly recommended.

Bibliography reference manager. The native file format used by JabRef is BibTeX, the standard LaTeX bibliography format.
JabRef vs EndNote opinions
JohnFastmanJabRef is excellent, free and open source. Unfortunately, EndNote is likely to be attractive to those seeking integration with MS Word; JabRef does not do this as it is oriented more towards LaTeX users. There is a work around to this, but it is tedious (based on exporting the bibliography as a Sources.xml file and importing that to Word.)
KBibTeX is a reference management software primarily for BibTeX which is typically used in conjunction with TeX/LaTeX.
