The bibutils program set interconverts between various bibliography
formats using a common MODS-format XML intermediate. For example,
one can convert RIS-format files to Bibtex by doing two
transformations: RIS->MODS->Bibtex.
By using a common intermediate for N formats, only 2N programs are
required and not N^2-N. These programs operate on the command line
and are styled after standard UNIX-like filters.
Bibutils converts between bibliography formats including BibTeX,
RIS, Endnote (Refer), ISI, COPAC, and Medline XML using a
MODS v3.0 XML intermediate.
