Bibtex export DOI with double brackets {{

ijvm
For some items zotero exports the DOI field to bibtex just fine:
... doi = {10.1038/nnano.2006.187}, ...
Whereas for others it includes double brackets:
... doi = {{10.1103/PhysRevLett.97.137205}}, ...

Double brackets in the DOI are not understood by common bibtex styles (e.g. made with makebst/merlin + urlbst). The result are the appearance of single brackets in the bibliography output and a non working hyperlink. One must then correct manually the bib file.

I have read zotero uses extra brackets to keep uppercases (in the title field) while exporting to bibtex. But such an approach for DOI is unnecessary and problematic.
