If your JabRef format is biblatex, are you using LyX appropriately? https://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex
Chris, No. I use bibtex and that's the way both JabRef and LyX are configured.
Otherwise, make sure you've updated to the latest Jabref.
I cannot do this because it requires openjfx and that's available for only 64-bit processors. My desktop has a 32-bit CPU and this issue has come up only in this document and with references (now 2) from only a single author.
It has some tools to validate the bib(la)tex files (Menu Quality > Check Integrity, and Menu Quality > Cleanup entries > Convert to biblatex), etc.
Yes, so does version 3.8.2 that I use and none of the 'quality' checks do anything.
But beware of the many warnings about small things like non-standard author formatting which doesn't matter (the integrity check can produce a lot of noise). I had a problem once with a badly encoded accented character in the .bib file that caused LyX to just not finish; it took me hours to find it (before I knew that Jabref had those tools).
I've checked each journal title field for unprintable characters and re-written them but nothing makes a difference. Rich
