What is a .ris file?

RIS is a plain-text citation format using two-letter tags (TY for type, AU for author, TI for title, PY for year) with each record ending in an ER tag. It is widely supported by reference managers and publisher databases for importing and exchanging citations.

How to use this file

Use an example .ris file to test RIS parsers and reference-manager import, or as input for citation-format conversion between RIS, BibTeX, and CSL-JSON.
