Hi,
For organizing papers, I've recently found
[[http://www-public.it-sudparis.eu/~berger_o/weblog/2012/03/23/how-to-manage-and-export-bibliographic-notesrefs-in-org-mode/][an
interesting blog post]].
Actually doing it is still on my TODO list unfortunately.
However, the use-case seems common enough amongst orgmode users that
if something is recognized as best-practice, maybe an entry in
[[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/][the worg tutorials section]] would be
warranted.

Best Regards,

B.
