Zotero has experimental support for MS Word and Writer. As an example, Bibus allows you to insert references into Writer or MS Word documents and to format the bibliographies. This means that you can add all (or selected) references simply by clicking a single button.Ī desktop reference manager can be used to keep an offline repository of all references stored in your refbase database, or to integrate with common word processor applications (such Writer or MS Word). Using Zotero you don't necessarily need to export your data from refbase since Zotero automatically senses all records displayed on a refbase web page.

Refbase supports import and export formats that allow you to exchange bibliographic data between a refbase database and desktop reference managers (such as BibDesk, Bibus, Bookends, EndNote, JabRef or Zotero) or online services such as RefWorks. See Wikipedia for a comparison of reference management software. There are many reference management applications that can be used in conjunction with a refbase database.
