  As EndNote users, we can exchange references pretty easily, thanks to
the way Niles has implemented their database format.  However if I want to
make references (in this case, scientific references) available to the
maximum number of miscellaneous researchers, what if any format or formats
are closest to a universal standard?  Is Refer format readable by lots of
other bibliographic database programs?  What format is more widely
readable?

  Finally, where should I ask this question to get non-EndNote users?

Thanks, Ron Larkin

We distribute elements of the GIS Master Bibliography (see URL below)
in REFER format since it appears to be the most useable. Previously
we also provided materials in Endnote library format but this proved
to be redundant given the easy import of REFER materials.

All bibliographic programs support refer format- Endnote for example can
import refer without endlink. The same is for BibTeX (there is a perl
script for conversion), Reference Manager, Refs etc.
