Your fields survive the trip

Most converters keep only the handful of fields they understand and silently discard the rest, so a conversion quietly costs you abstracts, keywords, ISSNs and any custom fields you rely on. This one reads everything into CSL-JSON and writes back every field the target format can represent. Converting to CSL-JSON and back returns your entries exactly as you supplied them, custom fields included. Converting between BibTeX and RIS keeps everything the two formats share — a field one format has no equivalent for is the only thing that cannot come along.
