Output Bibtex From Mendeley Issue

Question

So I have a typical BibTeX output that from Mendeley looks like this,

@article{Shimada2010,
author = {Shimada, K and Nakanii, N and Murata, I and Habara, H and Tanaka, K a},
doi = {10.1088/1742-6596/244/3/032059},
file = {:C$\backslash$:/Users/der24683/Desktop/Work/Papers/Organised/Shimada et al. - 2010 - Measurement of fast neutron by using imaging plate.pdf:pdf},
issn = {1742-6596},
journal = {Journal of Physics: Conference Series},
month = {aug},
number = {3},
pages = {032059},
title = {{Measurement of fast neutron by using imaging plate}},
url = {http://stacks.iop.org/1742-6596/244/i=3/a=032059?key=crossref.6e5d2b330a7c31fb1508f0bc6d2241a3},
volume = {244},
year = {2010}
}

My issue is with the month. This output as aug and not Aug.

I can go through and manually change the months to capitals (like this {Aug}) however this is take ages.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Welcome to TeX.SX! Related Incompatible month formats between biblatex and Mendeley although I don't think it necessarily solves your question (unless biblatex is an option?). Note month=mar is how the value should be entered, the month is then formatted according to the bibliography style used. — Dai Bowen, Oct 25 '16 at 14:35
Use the find&replace tool of your editor to replace all {aug} with aug etc. This are twelve operations and your are done. — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Oct 25 '16 at 15:55

Maybe a very dirty, but simple workaround: open the bibfile in a text editor (e.g. wordpad) and simply replace each aug by Aug by selecting the "entire word" and "identical capitalisation" options. My translation of the latter terms might be off, since I'm using a Dutch version of windows.
