JRis

JRis is a Java implementation of RIS Format. JRis has the goal to give an easy way to parse RIS format stream and to build them.

From Wikipiedia:

RIS is a standardized tag format developed by Research Information Systems, Incorporated (the format name refers to the company) to enable citation programs to exchange data. It is supported by a number of reference managers. Many digital libraries, like IEEE Xplore, Scopus, the ACM Portal, Scopemed, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink and Rayyan QCRI can export citations in this format. Major reference/citation manager applications, like Zotero, Mendeley, and EndNote can export and import citations in this format.

Usage example

The following examples inlustrates how to use JRis to parse and to build RIS format stream.

• To parse a RIS stream you could use one of the Jris.parse() methods. Each one accepts as argument a different type of Reader, and will return a List<Record> of records. Each record is a single RIS element parsed from the stream.
• To build a RIS stream you could use one of the Jris.build() methods. Each one accepts as arguments a List<Record> from which the RIS stream will be generated and a different type of Writer in which the stream will be write.
