It's easy to import articles to RefWorks from your computer. Also it's time saving to be able to import articles directly from the Internet. Refworks supports most of the university libraries and popular indexes such as SSCI, SCI and ISI. Microsoft Word plug-in is handy when citing articles, but plug-in for other word processors is missing. The biggest advantage of using a reference manager is not to forget citations both in-text and in references. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The website of RefWorks is not well designed, it looks quite old. RefWorks is not a cross-platform reference manager, it doesn't support Linux distributions. Also there is no option to integrate the software with Libre Office or Open Office. It only provides a plug-in for Microsoft Word. Finally, licence for RefWorks is quite expensive and the trial version is only for 30 days.

I like that RefWorks is an easy Online bibliographic management program that is clean and visually pleasing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the fact that sometimes, not all of the text is fully filled out Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used refworks during my masters thesis writing. It is a wonderful tool. I had justone month to write my thesis and the toolbar in MS word was a savior. I loved how it syncs the references and creates a bibliography at the end. Saves so much time. Also the ability to change the writing styles is fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No major disappointment. Only that it used to get stuck at times when you would refresh it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The feature that I use and like the best is that you can create bibliographies in every style. If Refworks dosent have a specific style for a discipline, you can contact them and they will get it. I also like that students can store their research articles in Refworks and organize them in various ways. I always caution the students that a computer is creating the bibliography and to always EDIT it before handing it into a professor because there are instances where the output is incorrect. To save a lot of time the bibliography feature is very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not taken the time to really understand how Refworks interfaces with Word to do the automatic citations in a research paper. It seems confusing to me. I would have to use it to really understand this functionality.

Easy to use; nice tool to have; makes work and life easier when citing a paper Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How you have to go into the website, manually update your references/add your references before you can even begin to start writing your paper; does not capture all duplicates; sometimes the difficulty in managing the large database; ran into a lot of difficulty when upgrading or using different versions of it and trying to cite papers with various folks; sometimes the lagging of the citations when switching the different ways of citing is annoying; mind you we do have loads of citations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to directly transfer references from all the major university libraries and Google Scholar Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of offline access, lack of option for consolidating and transferring to a Word document summaries of the respective books/articles Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked the fact that the tool linked to my Microsoft word documents and created the bibliography and reference style I wanted with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the time I used the tool, it was a little challenging to easily share papers with other authors on my team within Refworks. This is something that Mendeley does well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use RefWorks for a couple of years now. It is really useful to store and manage references. I would recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
