    I have hit another RIS conversion issue. I tried 6.0 version of the library, too. See the following RIS record:

    Provider: OMICS International.,

    There are 3 spaces between the abbreviation and the following dash. If I remove that, ris2xml will happily parse it.

    I realise that the RIS specification is rather strict about there being exactly two spaces, but this is real life application and it IMHO should be handled.

    I'll fix ris2xml to recognize this mangled RIS format. But someone should pester them that they're generating non-compliant RIS files.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    Version 6.1 should handle these non-compliant RIS files. (Also note that they use "and" to separate authors in the A1 tag, which I haven't seen before in my other RIS sources. I've added support for this as well.)
