Dear Marc,
I am working in an university environment.
I'm successfully using  LibreOffice without any add-on or extension.
However, my use of LibreOffice is quite limited in my profesionnal 
environment,  due to the following problems:

1.  I have to work with files (texts, spreadsheets, presentations) that 
have to be edited and exchanged with students and colleagues, who are 
mostly M$ users (sorry to come back again to the same M$ story...)

2. We tried to select Calc as the reference spreadsheet for all data 
treatment in my team, but  absence of X-error bars is too limiting for 
our specific use.

As mentionned by others, Zotero is used in our university environment 
for bibliographic citations.

Hope this can help,
Best regards,
PG
