For example, +one can convert RIS-format files to Bibtex by doing two +transformations: RIS->MODS->Bibtex. + +By using a common intermediate for N formats, only 2N programs are +required and not N^2-N. These programs operate on the command line +and are styled after standard UNIX-like filters. + +Bibutils converts between bibliography formats including BibTeX, +RIS, Endnote (Refer), ISI, COPAC, and Medline XML using a +MODS v3.0 XML intermediate. |
