Generally (at least for STEAM and medical fields) you can download
the references of the article in bibtex format from the journal
website.
I have a bash script ~/bin/emacsbib with the following:
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
#!/bin/bash
$HOME/bin/emacsclient -a '' -e "(jaam/bibtex-add-citation
\"${1}\")"
#+END_SRC
and then in my .emacs I have:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun jaam/bibtex-add-citation (filename &optional bibfile)
(interactive)
(if bibfile
(find-file bibfile)
(find-file (car bibtex-string-files)))
(read-only-mode 0)
(goto-char (point-max))
(re-search-backward "}$" nil t)
(forward-char 1)
(delete-blank-lines)
(insert "\n")
(insert-file-contents filename))
#+END_SRC
Additionally you should set bibtex-string-files with a list of
your reference files. Then opening a file from the browser with
emacsbib yanks the citation to the first entry of
bibtex-string-files.
This works with almost any journal, in rare (stupid) occasions,
e.g. Nature, the journal does not provide bibtex files, but they
have RIS format. For those occasions I have another script
~/bin/emacsris with:
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
#!/bin/bash
/usr/share/cb2bib/c2btools/ris2bib $1 /tmp/tempbib
$HOME/bin/emacsbib /tmp/tempbib
#+END_SRC
You need to have the ris2bib script which in debian is part of the
package cb2bib.
Best,
