For some years I have used the Bibus python script as my reference manager software. The software works fine but the import of new references was always a bit cumbersome. Then Zotero and later on Mendeley appeared as viable alternatives to Bibus. Both featuring much better import and synchronization features. I have used Zotero for some time to collect scientific references and webpages. However I couldn’t figure out a transparent way to import my old collection from Bibus. My trials in importing via a RIS file failed badly and I couldn’t find a way to import my old collection of pdf files which were referenced in the bibus database. When I first tried the RIS import in Mendeley it worked immediately which means it did import all the records without giving up somewhere in the middle. However there were some minor problems related to file paths, conference proceedings and keywords. In the end I was able to fix all this by editing the RIS file before importing it. The details are given below.
