Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert DOI to RIS?

Is my data uploaded anywhere?
Each DOI is looked up against the relevant public metadata service (Crossref for DOIs, PubMed for PMIDs, library records for ISBNs), and only the identifier itself is sent — never your documents. The formatted results are yours to copy or download; nothing is stored.
