What you call "normal" is still extremely slow and unser-unfriendly compared with EndNote. What do you expect from a "truely" web-based application. Its performance depends, upon other things, on the availability and speed of the network.
In particular, using RefWorks is extremely complicated because the program still needs a lot of improvements (for which we are the testers). Cooperations with others is difficult/impossible (as I can tell you after a few months of using RefWorks, which was NOT a free choice)
Give me back my EndNote!
I have been experiencing extreme slowness using RefWorks all week. At first, I thought it was my internet connection (hotel room abroad) but even at home, where my connection works fine with everything else, it starts to get incredibly slow after a while. Is there any way of solving this problem? Right now, it makes it almost impossible to write a paper and insert the citations at the same time, which, quite frankly, is more than frustrating.
Sharon, if you are a UU student or researcher, could you please conact me by mail? j dot bosman at uu dot nl
