As Jorge Perez Perez pointed out, there is no need for any manual effort here. Each article in the Stata Journal
and each item in the SSC Archive have bibliographic references available in IDEAS 
(http://ideas.repec.org) in several popular formats. All you need to do is look up the article (or package) 
and copy the reference in the desired format into your bibliographic software.
