Citebase Search was an experimental, semi-autonomous citation index for free, online research literature created at the University of Southampton as part of the Open Citation Project. [1] [2] [3] It harvested open access e-prints (most author self-archived) from OAI-PMH compliant archives, parses and links their references and indexes the metadata in a Xapian-based search engine. [4] Citebase went live in 2005 [1] and ceased operation in 2013. [3] [5]
More than three-quarters of the papers indexed were author self-archived in the ArXiv archive, which includes physics, maths and computer science. [6] Some (published) biomedical papers were indexed from BioMed Central and PubMed Central. [6]
