rispy 0.5.0

Usage

Parsing:

>>> import os
>>> from pprint import pprint
>>> import rispy
>>> filepath = 'tests/data/example_full.ris'
>>> with open(filepath, 'r') as bibliography_file:
...     entries = rispy.load(bibliography_file)
...     for entry in entries:
...         print(entry['id'])
...         print(entry['first_authors'])
12345
['Marx, Karl', 'Lindgren, Astrid']
12345
['Marxus, Karlus', 'Lindgren, Astrid']

Writing:

>>> import os
>>> import rispy
>>> entries = [
... {'type_of_reference': 'JOUR',
...  'id': '42',
...  'primary_title': 'The title of the reference',
...  'first_authors': ['Marxus, Karlus', 'Lindgren, Astrid']
...  },{
... 'type_of_reference': 'JOUR',
...  'id': '43',
...  'primary_title': 'Reference 43',
...  'abstract': 'Lorem ipsum'
...  }]
>>> filepath = 'export.ris'
>>> with open(filepath, 'w') as bibliography_file:
...     rispy.dump(entries, bibliography_file)

TAG_KEY_MAPPING

The most fields contain string values, but some like first_authors (A1) are parsed into lists. The default mapping were created from specifications scattered around the web, but to our knowledge there is not one single source of RIS truth, so these may need to be modified for specific export systems:

• Wikipedia

• ResearcherId

• Refman

• Refman (RIS format)

• Zotero
