Papers 1.5
Papers, a program which helps scientists on the Mac to create and organize their Personal Library of Scientific literature, has been updated to version 1.5. The new release brings over 100 new features and bug fixes. A major new addition is support for search engine plugins, it ships with built-in support for Google Scholar, Google Books, Pubmed, Scopus and Web of Science. The new release is also fully compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, has an improved and streamlined user interface, and more tightly integrates with other applications in the literature workflow. This is a free update for existing users and prices start from 29 euros for a single user license. PhD students and undergraduates can receive a 40 percent discount upon sending proof of studentship.

Which scientists?
I have a looked at this app and it looks good. Worth mentioning here though that when they say scientists they really mean biological and medical scientists. Mathematicians and physicists will want to download from arxiv.org and work in LaTeX neither of which are catered for.
