Citation Format #15

I'm not familiar with how new citations are ingested into the Database, but would it be possible to have the API return the citations in a format like BibJSON where the journal, title, and publisher are represented as distinct fields?

This will make the API more interoperable with the tools that already work with bibjson, and it is more informative for text-mining and machine learning applications.

Thanks @aazaff, this is a priority for us, but we have a challenge in that muchof our legacy data is a single text string. If you look at the https://github.com/NeotomaDB/CrossRef_Publications repositories (in a bout an hour when I push!) you'll see that this has been a focus of development, but it's a bit slow.

We are also working on re-writing the API to support this. I will close this issue when we've implemented.
