"Good organizer - some cleaning still to be done"
Version: Papers 2.0.4
Pros
It is a good paper organizer. It helps to easily find, categorize, read your scientific papers and helps you find related one on the web. Have great features for personalizing your library and citing your work. Great linkage with other programs.
Cons
It still has a lot of bugs while adding or editing information, view modes, adding chapters, authors or pdfs or notes to your paper. Crashes adding notes in other languages (spanish).

"Great product!"
Version: Papers 1.9.2
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This program has been a true change in paradigm with regards to how I manage my references. Before, I had a large amount of references stored in folders in my hard drive. With this program I have been able to achieve a level of organization and increased usefulness of my "papers". It it really a dream come true.
I haven't had any stability issues or crashes with it. After several hundred imported papers, I am yet to see a significant performance hit. -
"Great potential but"
Version: Papers 1.9.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I really really like what papers could be. But as it stands it is just tooooo slow. I've tried to use it for nearly a year now, going to the forum for help, changing my databases, removing smart queries etc. etc. etc. but it is still so slow that I only use it as a batch processing program to rename my pdf files now.
I think this is such a shame as it could (and I hope will in the near future) be a great program. -
"Not Ready For Prime Time"
Version: Papers 1.8
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I agree that Papers is a unique product and in theory it could be a productivity booster. But IMO it has too many bugs when used "aggressively". I have had to delete preferences, library too many times. It then works for a few minutes but quickly fails to interface with my institutions ezproxy server properly. I delete preferences and it works again for a bit. There are other intermittent bugs. I paid for it and look forward to future iterations but it is currently unusable for me. -
"I expected great things"
Version: Papers 1.7
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
and I got them. I purchased a license when Papers was still in beta for one simple reason - to support the two programmers who had given us some outstanding free bio software. And I have to say I wasn't disappointed - Papers has become an immensely useful program for me, and I love the fullscreen reading mode. The support has been outstanding - any problem I reported has been dealt with quickly and professionally (I wish others would do that). If I had to niggle then it would be:
- sometimes the automatic recognition will misrecognise a paper, which isn't surprising when several DOI are present in the pdf
- I'd love to have the ability to use several libraries (one for work, one for private use) as I have hundreds of eBooks (for SciFi fans have a look at www.baen.com)
Final word would be: I'm waiting for the day when papers can replace EndNote on my Mac
Well done guys -
"Papers is a very solid program."
Version: Papers 1.6
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This program is for academic and research oriented management of .pdf files from scientific journals. It is well designed and implemented and regularly updated. The developers are also scientific end-users of their product. They designed it because they felt the existing software in this space was inadequate for file management. As an academic emergency physician, I agree. Integration with life sciences databases (PubMed, etc.) is excellent.
It is not cheap but is not unreasonably priced for what it does. As I use it for work, I have claimed the cost for tax purposes. -
"Nice..."
Version: Papers 1.6
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Great software for managing PDFs - as many others i have over 1000 science/medical PDFs scattered across several drives, some named sensibly, but some cryptically (guess it made sense at the time). The "match" feature that fills in PDF details (journal/authors/keywords/abstract etc) is a real lifesaver for managing these, as are collections and smart collections.
The only thing I'm missing is 1) a speedy way to weed out duplicates and 2) Citation/bibliography support for Word/Pages/Mellel etc...
The software has worked flawlessly for me, with no loss of data as reported by previous reviewer, and has become an essential piece of software for my work... Highly recommended... -
"Keeps getting better"
Version: Papers 1.6
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Version 1.6 continues a trajectory of maturation for Papers. Almost every bug/issue in my previous comment has been addressed. I've finally committed my 4000+ papers to it and don't regret it at all.
