RIS Format Specifications

Sample References in RIS Format
Following are some example references in RIS format, provided so you can see exactly how references should look before you import them into your Reference Manager database with the Capture module.

Two variations of the RIS import format are provided in the Capture module: "RIS Format" and "RIS Format (Add periods)." The periodical name abbreviations in this sample have periods after them; therefore you would use the standard "RIS Format" to capture them. If there were no periods after the periodical abbreviations, you would choose "RIS Format (Add periods)" when importing.

The sample references here are, in order, a journal reference, a patent reference, a conference proceeding reference, a report reference, a book chapter reference and a case reference. Field information longer than one line (e.g., "TI - ") is shown here with the continuation lines indented for ease of reading only. In practice, you can simply word wrap these lines, without the leading spaces.
