WIKINDX is a web-based bibliography and reference management system designed for individuals and research groups. It provides a central environment for organising academic references, quotations, research notes, ideas and supporting documents.
The software combines traditional reference management with tools for preparing academic publications. Its integrated WYSIWYG word processor allows researchers to incorporate references and quotations directly into their writing, with citations formatted according to selected bibliographic styles.
WIKINDX supports single-user and multi-user environments. Researchers can maintain personal bibliographies, collaborate through shared collections and access research material from different computers. The software can be self-hosted, giving individuals and organisations control over their bibliographic databases.
This is free and open source software.
