Hi again, I just had a thought. Would it be possible to extend the citation pages that you linked to also provide the bibtex source at a similar URL, e.g. http://bioconductor.org/packages/3.7/bioc/citations/BiocFileCache/bibtex.html <http://bioconductor.org/packages/3.7/bioc/citations/BiocFileCache/citation.html> ?
