refbase can be used to collect and share digital copies of publications such as an academic institution's research output.[1] refbase has also been used as a publication archive, for example, the Washington State University did use refbase to provide access to its collection of the Pullman Herald newspaper.[2]
refbase has been cited as one of the first web-based open-source tools to facilitate collaborative reference management.[3]
