I have an entry in a .bib file consisting of:

author = {Garrido-Jurado, S. and Mu\~{n}oz-Salinas, R. and Madrid-Cuevas, F.J. and Mar\'{i}n-Jim\'{e}nez, M.J.},

and run

pdflatex file.tex
bibtex file.tex
pdflatex file.tex

the result is

enter image description here:

(notice there is no hyphen in between 'Muñoz' and 'Salinas') --

S. Garrido-Jurado, R. Muñoz Salinas, F. Madrid-Cuevas,and M. Marı́n-Jiménez

+++ Now, if I add a bracket around the hyphen, and follow all of the other steps, success:

author = {Garrido-Jurado, S. and Mu\~{n}oz{-}Salinas, R. and Madrid-Cuevas, F.J. and Mar\'{i}n-Jim\'{e}nez, M.J.},

enter image description here

or

S. Garrido-Jurado, R. Muñoz-Salinas, F. Madrid-Cuevas,and M. Marı́n-Jiménez

The question is: why? The hyphen was printed correctly for Marı́n-Jiménez, why was Muñoz-Salinas such an issue?

(I will also mention I am using the current version of IEEEtran.bst .)

    This is odd. The exact behaviour here depends on the bibliography style you are using. Please tell us which bibliography package you are using and which style (\bibliographystyle). This is best done in a short example document (a so-called MWE: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228/35864, https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/4407/35864). – moewe Nov 14 '19 at 16:55

    BibTeX needs additional braces around the entire non-ASCII character, see https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/57743/35864. author = {Garrido-Jurado, S. and Mu{\~n}oz-Salinas, R. and Madrid-Cuevas, F. J. and Mar{\'i}n-Jim{\'e}nez, M. J.}, works for me. – moewe Nov 14 '19 at 17:00
  • Thanks! I was working on the MWE and was able to test that this is the case. I have many authors with diacritical marks in their names, so this will come in handy. – atabb Nov 14 '19 at 17:02
