For many years I have done all of my research work using Mathematica, and nowadays I write my papers using Publicon, and then exporting as LaTeX because this is the best format for submission to various places such as arXiv. For long equations, I prefer all my editing to be at source, rather than in the exported LaTeX, so I split my equation into smaller pieces which I place into the cells of a column vector. This is not perfect but it works. For pasting between Mathematica and Publicon, I have found that the most robust way to do this is to use Copy As Cell Expression. Publicon has a very nice bibliographic database facility which I have now standardised on, and you can play around with whatever style sheet you are using to control what bibliographic information appears in the backmatter of your document. Assuming you want to use a Mathematica-like environment, then I don't know of any other way of automatically using a bibliographic database. I too have wondered whether Wolfram has decided to give up on Publicon, but my real hope is that they will merge it with Mathematica to enhance Mathematica's ability to handle LaTeX.
