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.
What is a reference list in APA style?
APA is one of the most popular citation styles and was developed by the American Psychological Association to standardize scientific writing. The APA citation style includes short citations in-text and a reference list at the end of the document. In-text citations are required in the author-year format, e.g. (Rode, 2012). The reference list provides the information that a reader would need to identify and find each source that you have used. It generally includes four elements: author, date, title, and source. All the rules of the APA style can be found in the APA Manual, which is currently in its 7th edition.
