How To Format Urls Without 'Author' In Bibtex Fro Plos Comput Bio?

How should I construct my BibTex to properly show up in PLoS Computational Biology? The link does not really have authors, and if I use:

@misc{openbabel,
  author={The Open Babel Project},
  title={{Open Babel}},
  year=2010,
  url={http://openbabel.org/}
}

... it shows up as *Project, OB (2010), Open Babel, http://openbabel.org/*.

The author guidelines do not seem to mention URLs and wondering what BibTeX source others use for this journal.

A quick answer to your question would be to escape the authors with double curly brackets as in the title field. I guess the long answer to your questions is that it's manually edited in proof stage.

The extra double curly brackets does that job! I only used that every for keeping something upper case; this use case is new to me, but does the job just fine! Thanx!
