“The word plug-in, which is the most important thing to me since I write all of my papers in MS Word, can be buggy at times and sometimes does not update with new references/has to be recompiled frequent.”

Physician

“Lack of reference version control to explicitly link version numbers/dates to duplicate references and allow controlled deduplication is an issue.”
OM

Oliver M.

“The worst part of paperpile is when importing papers, it often finds non-published (arXiv) version of the papers instead of their published counter parts. ”
