text2bib is a PHP script for converting references to BibTeX format.  It aims to convert accurately references in any
reasonable format.  Here are three examples of references that it converts correctly:

Logistics Quarterly 8, 175-191.

The script is freely available, under the GPL license (see the file COPYING).  It may currently be used via the web at
