Bibliographies and Download Area

Hello

Wondered what peoples views were on the bibliography system and how they would perhaps like it to develop?

I wondered if bibliographies should be linked directly to individual research journals (to keep the journal coherent) and also to a centralised point so that users would not have to go into research journals just to look for references. Should the bibliography section be searchable by topic or research interests? Someone mentioned a search function already, I presumed this was for the entire site, but perhaps a reference search could be possible which was separate from a general search? Also how would the bibliographies be displayed in individual journal pages?

Another section could perhaps be a download area for papers and notes? There are already a few downloadable papers on this site, would it make sense to have a specific area for this, linked to bibliography? This again would save manually searching through individual journals. I have not writen many papers but I do have some notes that I would like to share...these are basically editied books (!) which people might find handy.

.bib files allow for tags(key words), abstract, weblink etc.. , and are so easy to use with http://www.lyx.org/
