Sorry, I really like this thread and I'd like to revive it as the question is still relevant after seven years.

I love calibre and I think it's great that it will make .bib BibTex reference catalogs. I've used this already. But Calibre still doesn't seem to have most of the tags needed for papers, i.e. volume, number, and pages, or integration with EBSCO.

I have looked into Zotoro, but it's a little creepy, and there are *many* more tools that do the same thing.

1) Does any one know if Calibre (or plugin) will soon support more journal article metadata soon?

2) If not, does anyone have a companion, external tool that works with the Calibre library so I don't have to duplicate all the work I've done building my Calibre library which is full of journal articles already.
