Bookends is an excellent bibliographic/research manager for macOS. This Alfred workflow curates 11 tools together in one interface to integrate between Bookends and other apps.

Some reference management software include support for automatic embedding and (re)formatting of references in word processing programs. This table lists this type of support for Microsoft Word, Pages, Apache OpenOffice / LibreOffice Writer, the LaTeX editors Kile and LyX, and Google Docs.
Workflow variables
There are several workflow variables which let you modify the functionality of the tools:
Scopus Info
For the Scopus search tool, ideally you should register for your own Scopus API key (without it it will use the demo key which may or may not work) and enter it in the workflow variables. The Scopus URLs also benefit from an institutional subscription, otherwise you will see a Scopus preview (which still contains useful information).
