I guess you could say I use it to manage my references. E.g. I add references using the functions in doi-utils.el. I can search them using helm-bibtex (which is not part of org-ref, we just use it because it is awesome), and from that I can see groups of references with keywords, etc... helm-bibtex

I also wasn't familiar with it. I just played around with it a bit to see if you could integrate org-ref with this. You mostly can do it, but the document probably would need some final manual polishing for some things. http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2015/06/11/ox-pandoc-org-mode-+-org-re
