The metadata feature only provides the first author, but not the whole list
of them. Moreover, the isiwos plugin provides abstract and keywords. This is
not relevant for citation purposes but it is very interesting if you try to
use referencer as a simple and fast article database with the PDF linked to
the reference (what makes referencer really useful)

The plugin should be used whenever you are interested in the whole list of
authors and if you want more information about the paper. Actually I was
thinking about exploiting some of the extra information provided by isi (for
instance the list of articles cited by this one).

Is suggest that the integration with referencer could be customized, maybe,
in the preferences menu, by clicking at a checkbox with a question like
"Would you like referencer to obtain data from isi-web of science?" and this
allowing to choose between crossref or isi-web

If you are interested in what isi provides here I attach you typical query.
You can see at the end of the xml file a list of citations (the numbers are
the codes of such articles). If you find more information useful I can
modify the plugin to accomodate it

<abstract avail="Y" count="1">
<p>The recent widespread interest in processes occurring at micro and
nanometric scales has increased the physical relevance of the surfaces and
interfaces constituting system boundaries, both at and far from equilibrium.
In the latter case, universal properties occur, such as scale invariance
(surface kinetic roughening), surface pattern formation or domain
coarsening. However, descriptions of these systems feature limited
predictive power when based merely on universality principles. We review
examples from Materials Science at nano and submicrometric scales, that
underlie the importance of describing growing surfaces by means of
(phenomenological) constitutive laws, in order to correctly describe the
rich behaviors experimentally found across many different systems.
Additionally, this approach provides new generic models that are also of
interest in the wider contexts of Pattern Formation and Non-Linear
Science.</p>
