BibTeX files from online sources
================================

I am  not a scientists. Not  for a long time.  But from time to  time I
need  to write  an article  with some  references. Thus  I need  to use
something like the BibTeX. And I  have been thinking that a possibility
to  download the  pre-generated  BibTeX files  from major  (commercial)
services like the Scopus or the ScienceDirect is a great help.

Well, it is but there are sometimes minor issues:

- inconsistent author  names, sometimes there is a full  first name and
sometimes there is just the first letter,

- to checking of data: if there  is the ampersand (&) symbol then it is
left as  is (which confuses the  TeX itself of course).  For example, I
have no  idea why  the "Computers and  Structures" journal  prefers the
form "Computers &  Structures". People also use  this strange character
inside article names.

I should remember this for the next time.
