Following on from our design decision to use BibTeX as a lowest common denominator reference export format, we have developed a simple BibTeX reference export utility for Dspace 4.3.
Essentially, it simply takes the Dublin Core object description and translates it to a BibTeX style reference with the object type, for example @article for a research paper being set on the basis of the dc.type metadata field.
As a further refinement we are using the object handle as the label which would give us an entry that looks something like this:
@article{hdl.handle.net_1234_1234567,
author = {Collins, Wilkie},
title = {Testing Methodologies},
journal = {The Journal of Important Things},
year = {2014}
}
Testing and development is ongoing, but our test sparse entries import successfully into Zotero and JabRef
