Re: [Jabref-users] Presenting: Google Scholar Fetcher

[Michael J. <mj...@in...>]

Hi Nicolas,

 While we're on the subject, I have noticed that Google Scholar's 
database seems to contain an extra pair of braces in its title ie: 
{{Principal Component Curves}}. I'm not sure whether this is an artifact 
of their bibtex-serving page, or contaminated data. When you copy the 
BibTex entry into JabRef, you can still see the pair of inner braces in 
the title. If you could detect this and snip them out, that would be 
awesome!
