Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I convert RIS to APA 7?
- Every database's Export button produces RIS; assignments want APA. Paste the export (or upload the .ris) and each TY/AU/TI record is parsed in your browser and rendered as an APA 7 reference — no reference manager installation required. Everything is free, with no account and no conversion limit.
- Is my data uploaded anywhere?
- No — the RIS you paste or upload is parsed entirely in your browser. Only the parsed reference fields (author, title, year) are sent to our formatter to render the citations; your file itself never leaves your device.
- When is a RIS to APA 7 conversion useful?
- The library-database shortcut: export your search results as RIS, convert here, and skip setting up Zotero for a one-off paper.
- 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.
