I like the fact that RefWorks can store links to publications in you account for later use. These links are connected to publications available at your institution. They have a feature that allows you to do intext citations in Word. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike the fact that the tab on the right side doesn't allow you to see all the folders. You have to scroll down to see them all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's a freebie. When I lost the access I had through my former university employer to EndNote - and thank goodness; that was terrible - I switched to the freebie version of Refworks. I like that it's free, and does "basically" what I need it to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It often produces errors or nonconformances in custom biblio styles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to organize my articles and references when I'm doing work for grad school. Lets me search and tag things accordingly to keep things organized and easy to find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes the search feature doesn't pick up what I'm looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to sort citations, make folders and keep then all online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Word add ons need to be installed and sometimes can get very glitchy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best part about using RefWorks in a university setting is that it's so commonly used, there is often an option on pubmed, or other websites (like the journals themselves) that you can select export citation and refworks is one of the options. Then, it's automatically imported into your refworks account. So easy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I only wish I could store the entire paper, not just the citation or abstract. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
RefWorks allows you to keep your citations in whichever format you prefer (MLA, APA, Chicago) all saved in separate folders for separate projects. If you are working on more than one research project at a time, this makes it easy to go back and find all the different references you have used or would like to use.

There are not many things that I dislike. The interface could be a little more user-friendly, possibly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The new version has a much better user interface. Overall, it is a useful program for managing citations and has helpful features for organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The plug-in for Microsoft Word doesn't work as well as it could. The program is still a little clunky compared to other citation managers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Refworks is great for getting started with a reference database. They have some of the easiest support material to follow to guide you through setting up an account and a bibliography. There are also additional features like following RSS feeds to keep you up to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like that this is really a product set up for institutions; if you are an individual user looking to track your references, I would recommend going elsewhere. The user interface, although functional, is not very modern, but that is purely cosmetic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to import references directly from web of science. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The lag in updating the refworks database when utilizing microsoft office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
