Papers is an invaluable resource. I started using it while doing research for my PhD. By saving all my research to Papers I had instant access and an easy method of organization. As a library and search engine it was excellent. I did however find it difficult to easily apply reference information between papers and my word processing program. I did try using Papers as a linked bibliography data base, but this caused problems with existing references and required me to completely rework my footnotes and references. I admit that this nave been because of some misunderstanding on my part. But, I found the help to be less than helpful. So rather than risk having to redo the references and footnotes again I relied on the built in reference and footnote functions within the word processing program.

But, as I said above, I did find the program invaluable as a resource for my PhD and continue to use it as my primary means for searching and accessing research.
