• Amazon - Copy the ISBN to Ottobib.
• Nelson Beebe maintains an extensive database of references for mathematics and computer science.
• BibSonomy
• Web Reference Database refbase - web-based, platform-independent, multi-user interface for managing scientific literature & citations.

Subject-specific collections that provide BibTeX citations

• MathSciNet a subscription only service (but available on most university campuses) provides BIBTEX entries for the entire mathematical literature. A nice aspect of their interface is a “clipboard”, to which you can save articles, then ask for the BIBTEX for everything on your clipboard all at once. (Freely available via MRef)
• ACM (CS)
• IEEE (engineering/technical,CS)
• Collection of CS Bibliographies (CS)
• DBLP has good BibTeX entries for much of computer science. It now covers 3 million papers, including nearly all papers in the theoretical computer science, as well as much of discrete mathematics. It now also includes citations for ECCC and arXiv papers (although these really should not be of type article with the repository as the journal). (math/CS)
• inSPIRE (high-energy physics)
• Citing a Wikipedia article: the “cite this page” item under the “toolbox” in the left-hand sidebar provides BibTeX information.
• TeXMed of PubMed transforms the numeric PubMed identifiers to BibTeX citations.(medicine, biology, bioinformatics)
• PhilPapers (philosophy, related disciplines)
• Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (as it says on the tin)
• Astrophysics Data System (astronomy and physics)

Reference managers that allow BibTeX export/import

• for PHP bibliophile has a library for converting to and from BibTeX. This is used by programs such as refbase for exporting references in BibTeX format.
• JabRef

To get bibliographic data about papers you can try with Google scholar

At the beginning of the last line of paper description click on the double quote sign. You will get the corresponding citation in different styles and at the bottom options to export citation in different formats:

BibTeX:

RefMan / RIS:

To transform from RIS format to WoS format you can use in R the function ris2wos described in BibTeX2Pajek.
