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.
What is a reference list in APA style?
APA stands for American Psychological Association and describes one of the most popular citation styles for scientific writing. APA style uses an author-date reference citation system in the text, accompanied by a reference list at the end of the paper. In the reference list, the author, year, title, and source of the cited works need to be listed in alphabetical order. If a reference is not cited in the text, it should not be included in the reference list. The APA Manual provides all the rules of the APA citation style and is currently in its 7th edition.
