What is a PubMed ID?

A PubMed ID (PMID) is a unique identification number assigned to each article indexed in the PubMed database. It is a numerical value that can be used to locate and retrieve a specific article in the PubMed database.

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.
