What is a PubMed ID?

PubMed is a widely-used database for life sciences and biomedical topics. A PubMed ID (or PMID) is a 1-8 digit unique reference number for PubMed citations. Some citation styles require the PMID to be included at the end of a citation.

What is a RIS file?

The RIS file format is a standardized file format developed by a company called Research Information Systems. Most reference management tools use the RIS format to transfer citation data between different programs. Most commonly, the RIS format is used for exporting search results from a database into a reference manager. A RIS file typically contains metadata such as title, author, publication date, keywords, publisher, issue number, and start and end page.
