The only thing that I think you don't need is "author" and "abstract" in
the "Store the following fields...", just "title". Author names and
abstract should be properly capitalised anyway.
The only other thing is that I am using version 2.10. Suggest you
upgrade regardless.

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?

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.

you should be more explicit about what you are doing.
The behaviour you

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

No idea! Works for me on Ubuntu...
If you examine the bibtex source, does this (at
least) have the
braces in the right places?
