bibtexcapitalization
Titles of articles I'm about to cite contain upper case letters and when using BibTeX it converts them to lower case ones. This happens only in the title and only the first letter conserves its case. For example, when I cite an article about HF, the reader won't know if it is about Hafnium (Hf) or fluorine acid (HF).
I know that I can fix it manually in the .bbl file but I would like to avoid it, or fix it automatically.
One possibility would be to switch to the acro package. It provides what you need:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{acro}
\acsetup{list-long-format=\capitalisewords}
\usepackage{mfirstuc}% provides \capitalisewords
\DeclareAcronym{SRS}{
short = SRS ,
long = spatial reference system
}
\DeclareAcronym{DC}{
short = DC ,
long = direct current
}
\begin{document}
Batteries run on \ac{DC} and \ac{SRS} are different things.
Batteries run on \ac{DC} and \ac{SRS} are different things.
\Acl{DC} bla ...
\printacronyms
\end{document}
I have checked the blg file.
I have changed the file names to be fully in small letters instead of capital and small letters articleegc.tex and articleegc.bib instead of ArticleEGC.tex and ArticleEGC.bib and it worked!
Is that even logical?

This is not a bug; it's a feature. Depending on the bibliography style in use, BibTeX converts all characters in the title to lowercase, with the exception of the first character. If you want to override this, wrap the character(s) in curly braces, e.g.,
