I use ReadCube Papers to maintain my academic paper library - keeping it organized and structured. I additionally use it as my primary paper annotator - highlighting relevant parts of articles for my work, and adding notes to papers where necessary.

Allows for easy import into the database from Chrome
Cons
Citation manager is a little clunky and has issues
The annotation interface could be expanded to include more note -taking features
Importing papers using the proxy manager can be a little iffy

ReadCube Papers has become an indispensable tool for my research. It offers a solution that keeps my library of research articles organized, and has improved the numbers of papers I am reading and annotating. The user-friendly interface simplifies the process of categorizing papers, highlighting essential text, and adding personal notes directly to the documents. The library is available online and through their own in-house application, which has worked perfectly (and much better than other solutions I have tried to use previously). In short, ReadCube Papers has truly improved the way I manage my research materials, making my academic life much more efficient and enjoyable.
We use Papers for sharing and collaborating with sophisticated research
and development clients. On ReadCube, we create projects for each
client, and both parties add papers, patents and theses for meetings,
annotations, organize all relevant references and the actual production process, so that we are always on the same page.
Pros
Easy including references to projects
Easily share literature with clients and teammates
Cross-reference on Microsoft Word
Cons
Extract content of single document as annotations for project
See documents as a part of a project, not just a list of names
Likelihood to Recommend
ReadCube Papers is excellent when you are working on a particular project with well-defined topics and with sophisticated mates, but in a more creative or artistic process, ReadCube falls short on capabilities to extract snippets or pieces of text or pictures directly from the source to build a mental model.
