Please check org-bibtex.el here:

  http://www.cognition.ens.fr/~guerry/u/org-bibtex.el

This package does not affect the way BibTeX entries are stored and
inserted but it provides more information on them thru properties.
Typically, you'll use this information in *remember* templates.

So for example:

(setq org-remember-templates 
  '((?b "* READ %?\n\n%a\n  %:author (%:year): %:title  In %:journal, %:pages.")))

will insert to relevant information about the author, the year, etc.
