Literature documentation software

[Steve G.]

I am preparing to do a (scientific) literature review, in which I am going
to look for articles on a topic, read them, and summarize their important
content.

I would like to do it electronically, in an organized fashion, so I can
also search and retrieve information later on. Right now, I print the
articles, read and mark important parts, and then write up the content in a
text document.

My ideal program would have fields for the article name, source (journal,
web address, etc.), authors, link to original article (i.e. the pdf file I
will save or either a link or a copy of the web page in case of an html
page) and summary/comments which I will enter.

There should be some searchable record keeping system, where all the
articles will be listed and be searchable by field (say, all articles from
Washington Post, or Lancet, etc.).

If it is online, it would be nice to be able to share access to a document.

Can you recommend a program that does that, on Linux or online?

Thanks,

Z.
