Here's a simple AppleScript to achieve this.
property theTemplate : "<$publications><$abstract/></$publications>"
set theFolder to POSIX path of (choose folder)
tell front document of application "BibDesk"
repeat with thePub in (get selection)
set thePub to contents of thePub
set theFile to POSIX file (theFolder & (cite key of thePub) &
".txt")
export using text theTemplate for thePub to theFile
end repeat
end tell
