Reference export

Every source the agent cites is a first-class reference with complete bibliographic metadata. Export those references in RIS — the universal interchange format — and drop them straight into Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, or any other reference manager without retyping a single field.

#The agent's sources as a reference set

When the agent works through a question, it does not just quote papers — it tracks each one as a structured citation. Every source it pulls from the life-science literature carries the underlying identifiers and metadata the agent used to retrieve and verify it. That means the bibliography is a byproduct of the research itself, not a separate assembly task you have to perform afterward.

Because the reference set is captured during the run rather than reconstructed later, it stays faithful to what the agent actually read. There is no gap between the claims in the analysis and the sources behind them: the papers the agent cited are exactly the papers you export.

#RIS format and compatibility

References export as RIS (Research Information Systems), the long-standing plain-text standard for exchanging citation data. RIS is tagged line-by-line — each field is a two-letter code followed by its value — which is why essentially every reference manager can read it.

A single .ris file imports cleanly into the tools researchers actually use:

• Zotero — free, open-source, widely used across academia
• Mendeley — Elsevier's reference manager and PDF organizer
• EndNote — the long-established desktop citation manager
• Papers, RefWorks, JabRef, and others — any manager that accepts RIS import, which is nearly all of them

Once imported, your reference manager handles the rest: in-text citations, formatted bibliographies, and any citation style (APA, Vancouver, Nature, and so on) you apply in your writing tool.

#Single, batch, and direct-to-Zotero export

There are three ways to get the agent's references out, depending on how much you want to carry over and where it should land.

#Single paper

Export the reference for any individual source with one action. This is the fastest path when you want to grab a specific paper the agent surfaced — the RIS entry for that one source downloads immediately.

#Batch export

Select multiple papers and export them together as a single RIS file. Instead of downloading references one at a time, you pull the whole evidence base from a session in one step and import it as a group. This is the typical workflow when you are done with a research question and want the full bibliography in your manager.

#Direct to Zotero

If you have connected the Zotero integration, references can go straight into your Zotero library — no file to download, no manual import step. Papers land in your library ready to organize into collections and cite. This keeps the round-trip tight when Zotero is already your working reference manager.

#What the RIS file includes

Each reference carries the full bibliographic record, so nothing has to be filled in by hand after import. The RIS entry includes:

With DOI and PMID included, your reference manager can resolve links, deduplicate against existing entries, and fetch full text through your institution — the identifiers do the heavy lifting so the citation stays accurate wherever it travels.
