Hi Morten, thank you very much for your answer. There is indeed a string limitation of 5000 characters. In order to solve the problem one has to user either bibtex8 -W oder biber. Again, this is not a JabRef problem, but for the record: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/38120/bibtex-author-tag-string-limitation
