example of getting bibtex from a DOI url ; this is the list of supported formats https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles

output.txt

curl -LH "Accept: text/bibliography; style=bibtex" http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nrd842
@article{Atkins_Gershell_2002, title={From the analysts couch: Selective anticancer drugs}, volume={1}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nrd842}, DOI={10.1038/nrd842}, number={7}, journal={Nature Reviews Drug Discovery}, publisher={Nature Publishing Group}, author={Atkins, Joshua H. and Gershell, Leland J.}, year={2002}, month={Jul}, pages={491-492}}

very cool, thanks!

JS version, could be helpful.

I am not seeing quite the same output as this example. On the command line, in the title, it has a special character between the 't' and the 's'. Looking at Nature's online version, it should be:

From the analyst's couch

but what I see (and I'll insert the hex code for the character):

From the analyst\x19s couch

This is the output on both the command line using curl and in ruby using Mechanize.

I can't quite make sense of this. It doesn't appear to be standard ascii or utf-8. Trying this in the JS version given by hubgit (thank you), it simply eats the bogus character, there is no apostrophe in the title. Any ideas?
