Generated bibtex keys not unique #214

Bibtex keys appear to just be formatted as just "[author surbname]_[year]". That is, last name of first author and year, separated by an underscore character. This commonly generates non-unique keys for multiple publications by the same author in the same year, which is a common occurrence for many use cases (for instance, the example given in the rorcid package is to extract the DOI information for all publications from a given author, and then use the rcrossref package to generate a bibtex file from that list of DOIs). The lack of non-unique keys poses a problem when attempting to refer to specific references by their key.

My current workaround is to use the RefManageR package to make the entries unique.
