RIS to BibTeX converter
Converts .ris reference files (common from EndNote, Web of Science, Scopus, etc.) to .bib (BibTeX) format.
Usage: python ris2bib.py input.ris > output.bib python ris2bib.py references.ris -o converted.bib cat multiple.ris | python ris2bib.py > library.bib
Features: - Supports most common RIS types (JOUR, CONF, BOOK, CHAP, THES, RPRT, ...) - Creates short author-year citation keys - Handles multiple authors - Converts month numbers/names - Protects titles with capitals using {} - Includes abstract (can be disabled) - Keeps DOI, URL, ISBN, pages, volume, number, etc.
Limitations / notes: - Very complex RIS records with many TY/ER blocks or malformed data may need manual cleanup - Does not handle every possible RIS tag (focus on most common ones) - Does not do smart title case protection (only very basic)
