So far, the easiest way for me to find the data has been to use this website:

For example, this paper:

https://www.doi2bib.org/bib/10.2307/4352738

returns this:

@article{Casazza2003,
title = {“Taming the Savageness of Man”: Robert Kennedy, Edith Hamilton, and Their Sources},
volume = {96},
ISSN = {0009-8418},
url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.2307/4352738},
DOI = {10.2307/4352738},
number = {2},
journal = {The Classical World},
publisher = {JSTOR},
author = {Casazza, Joseph},
year = {2003},
pages = {197}
}
If you only have a handful of papers then I suggest you just do it all manually. This plugin won't be able to parse that sort of data response, it is designed for scraping structured html content.

Rather than this plugin what you really need is a different type of bespoke plugin (Metadata) that targets this website, I didn't see any such thing in the index so clearly no-one has had enough of a requirement before now. And since the demand for such a thing is so low it most definitely isn't worth my time to write it
