Bug Description

if the key field contains a comma this is output into the bibtex file
eg:
@article{foo1990,bar,
       ...
}

then bibtex gives the error:

Database file #1: refs.bib
"," immediately follows a field name---line 28 of file refs.bib
 : @article{foo1990,bar
 : ,
I'm skipping whatever remains of this entry

referencer should not output files that are not valid bibtex files.
