A typical RIS entry looks like this:
TY - BOOK
T1 - The virtual linguistics campus
SN - 978-3-8309-1689-5
T2 - Strategies and concepts for successful e-learning
KW -
PB - Waxmann
PY - 2006
CY - Münster
A2 - Handke, Jürgen
A2 - Franke, Peter
ER -
Tags consisting of a two-letter field code, two spaces, a hyphen, and one space are followed by the contents of the fields.
Importing a RIS File
•Many web-based databases support direct export to Citavi. See Searching Web-Based Databases and Importing Search Results for more information.
•If you have a RIS file (with the .ris file name extension) on your computer already, double-click it to start the import or drag it into the navigation pane in the Reference Editor.
