CSL-JSON to RIS Converter
CSL-JSON is wonderful inside Pandoc pipelines and opaque to most reference managers' import dialogs. Converting to RIS makes the same records universally importable — each item mapped to TY/AU/TI tags in your browser, nothing sent to a server.
When you need this
The hand-off problem: your bibliography is a references.json in a git repo, and your advisor wants it 'in EndNote' by Friday.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I convert CSL-JSON to RIS?
- CSL-JSON is wonderful inside Pandoc pipelines and opaque to most reference managers' import dialogs. Converting to RIS makes the same records universally importable — each item mapped to TY/AU/TI tags in your browser, nothing sent to a server. Everything is free, with no account and no conversion limit.
- Is my data uploaded anywhere?
- No — the CSL-JSON you paste or upload is parsed entirely in your browser. The conversion runs fully offline in the page — nothing is sent to any server.
- When is a CSL-JSON to RIS conversion useful?
- The hand-off problem: your bibliography is a references.json in a git repo, and your advisor wants it 'in EndNote' by Friday.
- Can I convert to other styles and formats too?
- Yes. CitationEasy's generator formats any source in 10,832 citation styles, the bibliography exports Word, RTF, BibTeX, RIS, and CSL-JSON, and the converter hub lists every direct conversion pair. If you need a style-to-style rewrite of already-formatted text, use the Citation Format Converter tool instead.
