If you prefer to store everything in .bib format, you may as well look
into org-ref package [1]. It is designed for researchers - people who
have to deal with thousands of bibliographic references on daily basis.
Also, it provides capabilities to integrate the .bib bibliography with
org nicely.

One neat feature of org-ref is ability to add keywords to references and
search the references using those keywords (in addition to usual
author/title/etc metadata). It really helps to find things easily in
huge databases.

Best,
Ihor
