- PennState
- Software
- BibTex (free with LaTex): The best way to organize references but initially (a little) difficult to learn how to use with LaTex. (BibTex with MS Word)
- Mendeley (free): Cross platform bibliography software having web access with group members. (I am currently using this software after Papers.) It export a BibTex file synchronously.
- Zotero (free): Another very good reference manager.
- Papers (commercial): The best bibliography software for Mac users (in my opinion).
- EndNote (commercial): The best bibliography software for Windows users (in my opinion).

- Plot, a scientific 2D plotting program for Mac OS X.
- QtiPlot – Data Analysis and Scientific Visualization: QtiPlot is ideal for student computer labs and offers a complete alternative solution to extremely expensive proprietary software like Origin, SigmaPlot, SPSS, Regressi or Igor Pro.
- Veusz is a GUI scientific plotting and graphing package. It is designed to produce publication-ready Postscript or PDF output. SVG, EMF and bitmap export formats are also supported. The program runs under Unix/Linux, Windows or Mac OS X, and binaries are provided. Data can be read from the text, CSV or FITS files, and data can be manipulated or examined from within the application.
- MagicPlot is a handy application for scientific and engineering data analysis, graphing, nonlinear curve fitting, and multi-peak fitting.
