Sir Dan

The first (article) entry in your bib file is:

@ARTICLE{authora14,
  author = {{A}. {A}uthor},
  title = {An article title featuring Capitalization},
  journal = {Sample Journal A},
  year = {2014},
  owner = {owner},
  timestamp = {2014.09.17}
}

So I would expect the plain style to produce exactly what you have in the PDF! I notice that the author field has braces around the capitals where as the title field does not. Are you sure you have selected the correct thing in the JabRef preferences?

Changing this entry to:

@ARTICLE{authora14,
  author = {A. Author},
  title = {An article title featuring {C}apitalization},
  journal = {Sample Journal A},
  year = {2014},
  owner = {owner},
  timestamp = {2014.09.17}
}

gives precisely the desired output.

Incidentally, the second entry gives the desired result because you have the whole title in braces (twice).

So there is absolutely  nothing wrong here in my view!

Thanks, I'm using Miktex-2.9.4813-v64 on a Windows 7 computer, and Jabref 2.9.2. I'm attaching here a zip with a minimal version of my document, the template I'm using, and also with the bibliography including the .bib Jabref database.

You can see in the compiled PDF in the bibliography three relevant cases
(1) has an article title with Capitalization in the Jabref database but becomes all lower case (2) has an article title with Capitalization in the Jabref database and surrounded by braces preserving the capitlization (3) is a book title that naturally maintains the capitalization as I wanted it.

Could you post the minimal tex and bibtex (one representative entry) files that exhibit this behaviour?

BTW: What tex distribution/version are are you using?

    Also, I just tried this. I added {} around the entire tile
    manually in Jabref and that particular entry appeared correctly
    capitalized.

    In my tex file, I use
    \bibliographystyle{plain}
    Do you recommend something else?

    I also wanted to clarify my OP. The capitalization in my Jabref
    database is fine. It just does not get translated in the final
    compiled Latex PDF, for articles only.

    Sounds to me as though it is most _definitely_ related to the
    citation style.

            Peter,

            you should be more explicit about what you are doing. The
            behaviour you
            described might be related to a specific citation style.


        "...the bibtex source" ??? How is that tied to a specific
        citation style?

                Under Options --> Preferences --> File, I have added
                the entry
                "title" (without quotation marks) under "Store the

                However, in spite of
                doing so the .bbl file still does not have braces
                around the title or
                around the capital letters.

                Some things that I have tried are: removing all aux
                files in the
                TeXworks, deleted the .bbl file, closed and re-opened
                the Jabref
                database and Jabref itself, restarted the computer....
                any ideas on
                what I might be doing wrong here?

                No idea! Works for me on Ubuntu...

                If you examine the bibtex source, does this (at least)
                have the
                braces in the right places?

                P.
