Tellico should works very well with this situation! You just have to use
a professional system for writing your texts. Tellico is able to handle
BiBTeX files (but I'm not sure whether it also supports some macro
tricks such as \noopt to give sorting hints) which is a literature
database for LaTeX. BiBTeX allows you to write your own styles and many
style files exists already for various publishers.

I suggest you search for BiBTeX. If you work at a university you should
already know this (at least for mathematical related stuff as I do).
