I'm trying to capture all the titles of citations in scientific articles, my regex looks like this:

(A-Za-za-a-a-ee-i-a-i-oo-a.) (0,1) (0.1) (0.1) (0.1) (0.1) (0.1) (0.1) -Za-z0-9: -aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, }.) {0,1}

Some examples of citations, with the title in bold:

Instead of using regex, I suggest breaking in array by . e espaço and picking the second index [1] that will be just the Title. See:

var strings = [
   "DI MAIO, P. The Missing Pragmatic Link in the Semantic Web. Business Intelligence Advisory Service Executive Update. v. 8, n. 7, 2008.",
   "ECO, U. Lector in Fabula: la cooperación interpretativa en el texto narrativo. Barcelona: Lumen, 1987",
   "ECO, U. O conceito de texto. São Paulo: T. A. Q. /EDUSP, 1984.",

   "ECO, U. Obra aberta: forma e indeterminação nas poéticas contemporâneas. São Paulo: Perspectiva, 1988.",
   "ECO, U. Os limites da interpretação. São Paulo: Pioneira, 2000.",
   "EDMONDS, B. The Pragmatic Roots of Context. In: PROC. OF THE 2ND INTERNATIONAL AND INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE ON MODELING AND USING CONTEXT. Berlin; Heidelberg; New York, v. 1688, 1999. Anais… v. 1688, p. 119-132, 1999.",
   "BERNERS-LEE, T. Semantic Web Concepts. 2005a. Disponível em: http://www.w3.org/2005/Talks/0517-boit-tbl. Acesso em: 25 set. 2014",
   "BERNERS-LEE, T. Web for real people. 2005b. Disponível em . Acesso em: 25 set. 2014.",
   "BERNERS-LEE, T.; CAILLIAU, R. WorldWideWeb: Proposal for a HyperText Project. 1990. Disponível em: < http://www.w3.org/Proposal.html >. Acesso em: 13 out. 2014.",
   "BERNERS-LEE, T.; HENDLER, J.; LASSILA, O. The semantic web: a new form of web content that is meaningful to computers will unleash a revolution of new possibilities.

]

for(var x=0; x<strings.length; x++){
   var titulo = strings[x].split(". ")[1];
   document.querySelector("#res").innerHTML += strings[x].replace(titulo,"<span style='color:blue;'>"+titulo+"</span>")+"<br><b style='color: red;'>Título -></b> <b>"+titulo+"</b><br><br>";
}

<div id="res"></div>

Considering that in the middle of the title there is no . e espaço .

The code would be this:

var string = "DI MAIO, P. The Missing Pragmatic Link in the Semantic Web. Business Intelligence Advisory Service Executive Update. v. 8, n. 7, 2008";

var titulo = string.split(". ")[1];
console.log(titulo);

Another way would be to manipulate strings:

var strings = [
   "DI MAIO, P. The Missing Pragmatic Link in the Semantic Web. Business Intelligence Advisory Service Executive Update. v. 8, n. 7, 2008.",
   "ECO, U. Lector in Fabula: la cooperación interpretativa en el texto narrativo. Barcelona: Lumen, 1987",
   "ECO, U. O conceito de texto. São Paulo: T. A. Q. /EDUSP, 1984.",
   "ECO, U. Obra aberta: forma e indeterminação nas poéticas contemporâneas. São Paulo: Perspectiva, 1988.",
   "ECO, U. Os limites da interpretação. São Paulo: Pioneira, 2000.",
   "EDMONDS, B. The Pragmatic Roots of Context. In: PROC. OF THE 2ND INTERNATIONAL AND INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE ON MODELING AND USING CONTEXT. Berlin; Heidelberg; New York, v. 1688, 1999. Anais… v. 1688, p. 119-132, 1999.",
   "BERNERS-LEE, T. Semantic Web Concepts. 2005a. Disponível em: http://www.w3.org/2005/Talks/0517-boit-tbl. Acesso em: 25 set. 2014",
   "BERNERS-LEE, T. Web for real people. 2005b. Disponível em . Acesso em: 25 set. 2014.",
   "BERNERS-LEE, T.; CAILLIAU, R. WorldWideWeb: Proposal for a HyperText Project. 1990. Disponível em: < http://www.w3.org/Proposal.html >. Acesso em: 13 out. 2014.",
   "BERNERS-LEE, T.; HENDLER, J.; LASSILA, O. The semantic web: a new form of web content that is meaningful to computers will unleash a revolution of new possibilities.

for(var x=0; x<strings.length; x++){

   for(var y=0; y<strings[x].length; y++){

      var letra = strings[x][y];
      
      if(letra.match(/[a-z]/)){
         var titIni = y-(strings[x][y-1] == " " ? 2 : 1);
         break;
      }
   }

var titulo = strings[x].substring(titIni,strings[x].indexOf(". ", titIni));
document.querySelector("#res").innerHTML += strings[x].replace(titulo,"<span style='color:blue;'>"+titulo+"</span>")+"<br><b style='color: red;'>Título -></b> <b>"+titulo+"</b><br><br>";

}

<div id="res"></div>

Considering also that in the middle of the title there is not. and space.

Code:

var string = "ECO, U. O conceito de texto. São Paulo: T. A. Q. /EDUSP, 1984.";

   for(var x=0; x<string.length; x++){

      var letra = string[x];
      
      if(letra.match(/[a-z]/)){
         var titIni = x-(string[x-1] == " " ? 2 : 1);
         break;
      }
   }

var titulo = string.substring(titIni,string.indexOf(". ", titIni));
console.log(titulo);

The logic I thought was this:

Authors
Title
Descriptions

So you can define the following rules:

Authors : surname + comma + space + name + dot = BERNERS-LEE, T. ; Multiple authors are separated by ; the last author ends with point . always.

Title : Anything that does not have ; , . in the middle, but should end with .

Description : anything that comes after the title.

REGEX

^((?:.+?, .+?;)*?(?:[^;\s]+?, .+?)\.)([^;]+?\.).*$

Explanation

(?:.+?, .+?;)*?(?:[^;\s]+?, .+?)\.) - get the authors
- (?:.+?, .+?;)*? - takes care of multi authors that always terminal with ;
- (?:[^;\s]+?, .+?)\.) - takes the last author, who will never have ; and ends in .
([^;]+?\.) - Get Title ending with .
.*$ - Description, go to the end.
