CiteInPages comprises four Applescripts for use with the open source reference manager BibDesk and Apple's word processor, Pages (v. 3, from iWork '08). Using BibDesk templates, "working citations" containing BibTeX cite keys in a defined format can be dragged or inserted by script from BibDesk into Pages documents as the documents are edited. CiteInPages replaces these "working citations" with numbered or author-date in-text citations, creates a correctly-ordered bibliography based on a BibDesk template, and pastes the bibliography into the Pages document. It has advantages over commercial reference managers for use with Pages because it works on native Pages files through Pages itself and does not require converting the file to rtf, which may cause some loss of information, inserted images or layout features. CiteInPages is freely available for use and modification with a BSD license. The scripts support sequentially-numbered, alphabetically-numbered and author-date citation and bibliography styles.
http://jhh.med.virginia.edu/main/CiteInPages Changes in CiteInPages 1.0: 1. A new CiteInPages script is included, "alpha-numbered," which sorts and numbers the bibliography alphabetically and uses those numbers for in-text citations. 2. A property, italicCitations, was added to the numbered and alpha- numbered scripts that allows full-sized in-text numbered citations to be styled as italic. 3. In-text citations may now include an internal notation that suppresses enclosure with delimiters or superscripting for that citation. 4. Users may insert an XML tag into Pages documents that allows setting script properties on-the-fly. 5. Scripts now check for the presence of the specified bibliography template file at the start of the run and warn if it is not found. 6. Versioning and other information is included in templates using InfoKey tags. 7. The text citation script has been modified to accommodate an Applescript or Pages bug that just cropped up. Sort of known issue: I haven't been able to duplicate the problem in Leopard, but some users report that the CiteInPages scripts fail when file name extensions are hidden in the Finder. For that reason, it's recommended that hiding file name extensions be turned off when the scripts are used.
