APPENDICES WHAT IS RIS? RIS is a standardized tag format for bibliographic citations developed by Research Information Systems Incorporated (the format name refers to the company) to enable citation programs to exchange data. It is supported by a number of reference management software packages such as Endnote (www.endnote.com) and RefMan (www.refman.com). RIS is a common and flexible format that has been adopted by IPIECA for upload of multiple resources to the MGB. It is also used as an export option by many digital libraries, such as Web of Science (wok.mimas.ac.uk) and ScienceDirect (www.sciencedirect.com). STRUCTURE OF RIS FILE An RIS file is a simple text file with a file extension ‘.ris’. It is a tagged format that stores bibliographic information. A file can store multiple references. Each reference is coded by multiple lines of text (ending in the ASCII carriage return and line feed characters in Microsoft Windows). Each line starts with two letters, two spaces, a dash (-) and two spaces. There are many letter codes in use to describe the bibliographic information available. The most up-to-date list of codes and their meanings can be accessed on the Wikipedia article on RIS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIS_(file_format). Each reference has to start with the TY - field (which stands for reference type e.g. TY - JOUR for journal). This is followed by a series of other fields describing the reference. The reference ends in ER - (which stands for end reference). Other references are added sequentially. As an example of how the article " Jones, D. O. B., Gates, A. R. and Lausen, B. (2012) Recovery of deep-water megafaunal assemblages from hydrocarbon drilling disturbance in the Faroe-Shetland Channel. Marine Ecology Progress Series. 461:71-82." would be expressed in the RIS file format: TY - JOUR AU - Jones, D. O. B. AU - Gates, A. R. AU - Lausen, B. PY - 2012 TI - Recovery of deep-water megafaunal assemblages from hydrocarbon drilling disturbance in the Faroe- Shetland Channel JO - Marine Ecology Progress Series SP - 71 EP - 82 VL - 461 ER - 10
