What is an ISBN?
An ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is a unique identifier assigned to books. It consists of thirteen digits and is used by publishers, booksellers, and libraries for cataloging and ordering purposes. ISBNs were introduced in 1970 and are generally found on the back cover, title page, or copyright page of a book.
What is a RIS file?
A RIS file, which stands for Research Information Systems, is a standardized file format used to import and export bibliographic information for academic publications. It is commonly used in reference manager software to share citation data between different programs or to import references from online databases. The RIS file contains metadata such as author names, publication titles, date of publication, and other necessary information to create a citation or bibliography.
