This page is designed to lay out the details of the collaboration and facilitate a working partnership with HighBeam Research. Comments are welcome on the talk page.

Background: CREDO Reference

[edit]

A similar relationship exists with Credo Reference, which donated 400 free "Credo 250" accounts to Wikipedia in 2010 and 2011 (project page). Applications required not having free online access to Credo through membership of ones university or public library, and the editor had to use the account to create or review content at any Wikimedia Foundation project.
