Google Wave is still a few months away for non developers, but already a bot, Igor, can manage a reference list and extract citations from PubMed,  Connotea and CiteULike.  All you have to do is type (cite topic, author, journal, etc) and it will find the reference you want, add it to a list, and numerically cite it in your text.  To fully appreciate how cool this is, check out the video at:

No doubt there will be many bots like this to choose when Wave is publicly available.
