I was fairly certain that there was probably an EndNote or Zotero plugin, which there is and isn’t, but I never even considered that LaTeX would be an option. So as I approached the iPad Pro with the aim of research and writing, I suspected that I would have to move to yet another new platform if I were to actually use it as an MacBook Pro replacement. I have used BibTex in conjunction with pdfLaTeX for most of my writing, including my dissertation work, but only because I hate word processors, love the beautiful type-setting of LaTex2e, and actually enjoy the mark-up side of using it. I moved on to other resources that really only accomplished the citation management function that I learned to appreciate in Ibidem: EndNote, BookEnds, Sente, Zotero, BibTex, in that order. EndNote probably took most of their niche. That suite to tools has since been updated but fell out of use by me and I suspect by a great many others as well as it neglected to keep pace with the industry. When the Note Bene suite of tools for academic writing first crossed my workflow back in 2006 or so, I was stunned that there was a resource that not only provided a word processor that allowed me to (thankfully) move off of MS Word, but managed and formatted my citations (Ibidem), and-now this really astounded me-offered a customizable database (Orbis) in which all my research articles and primary texts could be deposited and searched.
