I write my latex on my laptop. I decided to try it out on my desktop -- and it
works, with the exact same settings in preferences as on my laptop. I've
upgraded to Jabref 2.10 on my laptop and it still has the same issue. Any
thoughts on why this would happen on my laptop but not my desktop (both run
Win7)?

Subject: Re: [Jabref-users] Capitalization in article titles
Thanks for looking at my files! I'm also attaching here a screenshot of my
jabref preferences. Let me know if this doesn't look correct.
I have added "title" in the preferences to force Jabref to add braces around
the capital letters to preserve the capitalization that I type in the database.
But it appears I have to manually add the braces around the whole title or just
the letters I want capitalized which is what I don't want to do -- I want the
capitalization preserved without me having to go back over all my entires and
explicitly put in braces as I did in the second entry.

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?

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.

Capitalization in article titles
Sounds to me as though it is most definitely
related to the citation style.

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

No idea! Works for me on

If you examine the bibtex

have the
braces in the right places?
