Bibus and Jabref

From Bibus

Export from JabRef, then Import into Bibus


I have tried to export from Jabref and then to import into Bibus, but I have not found any common format. So I had to use Jabref "EndNote.txt" export, an old endnote version and EndNote RIS export to get the data into Bibus, this works but can loose some data and some editing of the JabRef output file is required.
