Welcome to TeX.sx! Usually, we don't put a greeting or a “thank you” in our posts. While this might seem strange at first, it is not a sign of lack of politeness, but rather part of our trying to keep everything very concise. Accepting and upvoting answers is the preferred way here to say “thank you” to users who helped you.

I had the same problem using IEEEtran with Overleaf. In my case, problems appeared with the urls: abs_all.jsp?arnumber=1703110 was misinterpreted as abs_{a}ll, Overleaf complained about math text out of an $$ enviroment and misalign the rest of the bibliography.
Try avoiding "url" and "doi" fields during your .bib exportation.

I had the same problem using IEEEtran with Overleaf. In my case, problems appeared with the urls: abs_all.jsp?arnumber=1703110 was misinterpreted as abs_{a}ll, Overleaf complained about math text out of an $$ enviroment and misalign the rest of the bibliography.
Try avoiding "url" and "doi" fields during your .bib exportation.

Welcome to TeX.sx! Usually, we don't put a greeting or a “thank you” in our posts. While this might seem strange at first, it is not a sign of lack of politeness, but rather part of our trying to keep everything very concise. Accepting and upvoting answers is the preferred way here to say “thank you” to users who helped you.
