How to preserve quotes in BibTeX

Question

I'm new to LaTeX and BibTeX, so excuse my ignorance. I have the following entry:

@Article{Hart,
author = {P.E. Hart, N.J. Nilsson, B. Raphael},
title = {Correction to \"A Formal Basis for the Heuristic Determination of Minimum Cost Paths\" },
journal = {SIGART Newsletter 37},
year = {1972},
pages = {28-29}
}

But this comes out as a capital letter A with diaeresis (Ä) and a ':', respectively. How do you get BibTeX to display quotes in a title?

Answer 1

First, quotes should be done like ``this'' (with back-ticks and apostrophes). Second, wrapping this in braces {like this} protects it from being messed with by bibtex. (You need to do this to get capital letters in article titles, for instance.
