The Refinement Database curates scientific articles, books, and other publications.

The database, created and managed by the Animal Welfare Institute (AWI), is intended to provide the most up-to-date information on appropriate housing, husbandry, and care of research animals to improve or safeguard their welfare. Created in 2000, the database now contains more than 7,000 citations and is updated every three months.

Note: Most publications older than 2010 can only be searched by keyword.
