About this tool
Reference managers and databases export citations as BibTeX or RIS. This tool reads those files and turns them into a ready-to-paste reference list, or converts BibTeX to RIS and back so you can move references between tools.
LaTeX accents are converted to proper letters, page ranges get the correct dash, and organisation authors are kept whole.
