Nature Portfolio and reference manager support

Article citations on nature.com are available in 'RIS' format and can be imported directly to your reference management software. We do hope to provide support for additional file formats in future.


To download: click the 'Citation' button or 'Download Citation' link located either towards the top or to the right side of the article abstract or full text page (see examples below)


Unfortunately we are unable to assist with third party software issues. If you require assistance with your reference management tools you should contact the company which owns the software you are using.
