Right now, we unconditionally titlecase abbreviated words in journal names. But that is not appropriate if the word is initially lowercased, as in e.g. 'npj Quantum Materials':

julia> doi2bib("10.1038/s41535-017-0058-z")
@article{wang2017type,
  ...
  journal = {Npj Quantum Mater.}
}

which should've given npj Qantum Mater.

According to my current implementation of ISO-4, the correct abbreviation of the journal 'Science' would be 'Sci.', but Science is in fact not abbreviated at all in any publications I know of, so something is missing here?

Consider the following horror show of a DOI:

julia> doi2bib("10.1098/rsta.1904.0024"; abbreviate=false)
@article{johndoe1904,
  doi = {10.1098/rsta.1904.0024},
  year = 1904,
  volume = {203},
  number = {359-371},
  pages = {385--420},
  title = {{XII}. Colours in metal glasses and in metallic films},
  journal = {Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Containing Papers of a Mathematical or Physical Character}
}

The correct journal abbreviation is Philos. Trans. R. Soc., A according to CASSI.
We are currently giving back Philos. Trans. R. Soc. London. Ser. A, Contain. Pap. Math. Or Phys. Character. I.e., we ought to be disregarding everything that follows (and includes) Series A. It seems we also ought to be removing London - but this is really beyond the ISO-4 rules.
Part of the problem is that the journal name returned by the GET request has more text than it ought to - but we still ought to be doing better.

A sub-part of the problem is also that we are abbreviation 'Series' to 'Ser.' rather than just discarding it.

Thanks for providing this nice package – I am actually using it regularly. Today I stumbled upon a strange error namely for

julia> using DOI2BibTeX
julia> doi2bib("10.1016/j.jat.2007.03.002"; abbreviate=false)
 @article{popiel2007,

julia>

The output seems to be shortened wrongly somehow? I have not yet had the chance to dive too deep into this package, maybe you see easier what happens here.

The regex hacks are not robust to changes in the formatting of the string returned by the get request. This causes problems like #7. To make sure the package continues working, we really need to convert to a proper BibTeX parser (e.g., https://github.com/thchr/SimpleBibTeX.jl or https://github.com/Humans-of-Julia/BibParser.jl)

Oh, super nice! I had this in mind for a while, but never found the time (currently using an old bash script from a colleague for that).

Just a request – would it be possible to also provide BibLateX entries?

Sorry that I directly have 2 feature requests.
Since there is already the nice Abbreviation method, would it be possible to do something similar with a Key-generator?
My favourite key name is AllLastNamesOfAuthorsCamelCased:YYYY.

I am not 100& sure how one could set this (maybe different styles or even keeping the default?) but it would be a neat idea if there is a way to do so.
