For ‘standard refinement’ I typically cite the most recent general paper. In 
the case of Refmac: 

> REFMAC5 for the refinement of macromolecular crystal structures.
> Murshudov GN, Skubák P, Lebedev AA, Pannu NS, Steiner RA, Nicholls RA, Winn 
> MD, Long F, Vagin AA.
> Acta Crystallogr D Biol Crystallogr. 2011 Apr;67(Pt 4):355-67.
