The entry contains an additional space at the beginning that triggers the
warning; if I remove the space before the "@article", it works in Bibdesk. When
I search Google Scholar for that article and click "import into BibTeX", the
space is not there. I don't know why it is added on your computer, but I would
suspect either the browser or a clipboard manager are to blame.
