Thanks for this - very nice!
(1) I'm not sure why you include spaces surrounding the arguments of "{..}". This is not usual BibTeX style and I would omit them.
(2) I prefer first name before surname. Would be nice to have option for that.
(3) Could you add a doi field? Ironic not to include it.
(4) A very valuable feature would be to capitalize the title, as per BibTeX standards, which few publishers bother to do.

Thanks for the suggestions… Some comments:

  1. I add the spaces because I find it easier to read (just like I add spaces around the equal sign, and indent all lines). bibtex syntax allows it :)
  2. First name before surname can be ambiguous, in case of multiple-word last name.
  3. Yep, definitely will do that. I'll have to check, I think a few years ago some tools would choke on that.
  4. Some journal styles ask for capitalized titles, some don't. Some publishers capitalize them, some don't. So I'd rather keep the information as it is, and let bibtex styles do whatever they want with it. (regarding "BibTeX standards", I'd welcome a pointer, though… never heard of those)
