[Tex/LaTex] Problem with bibliography. Double quotes appear around title

bibliographiescite-package

    “Samsung’s “3D vertical” NAND crams a terabit on
    a single chip,” http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/08/
    samsungs-3d-vertical-nand-crams-a-terabit-on-a-single-chip/.

This is how it appears in my bibliography. I am using cite and url packages.

My code looks like this

    \bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
    \bibliography{IEEEabrv,mybib}

My entry in bib file is

    @article{samsung_1TB_SSD2,
      title={Samsung's ``3{D} Vertical'' {NAND} crams a terabit on a single chip},
      note = {\url{http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/08/samsungs-3d-vertical-nand-crams-a-terabit-on-a-single-chip/}}
            }

I do not want double quotes around title and it should maintain the case. I tried biblatex package but that does not work with IEETran. Please help

If the journal requires you to use the IEEEtran bibliography style, you shouldn't modify any of the style file's settings -- including the one that automatically places double quotes around the title field of an entry of type @article, in apparent contravention of the stated stylistic requirements...

What you can -- and probably should -- do for the sake of good typography is to use single quotes instead of double quotes to surround the string 3D Vertical.

Second, to preserve the uppercase spelling of some of the letters in the title field, just surround them with curly braces. (You've already done just this with the string NAND, by the way.)

Thus, you may want to write the entry's title field as

title = {Samsung's `{3D Vertical}' {NAND} crams a terabit on a single chip},

You have tagged this query with both cite-package and biblatex. Unfortunately for you, the cite and biblatex packages are mutually incompatible.

To use the cite package, you must also (a) provide a suitable \bibliographystyle instruction and (b) run BibTeX. To use the biblatex package, you must (i) not load the cite package, (ii) use biber rather than BibTeX, and (iii) replace the single instruction \bibliography{bibliography.bib} with two instructions: insert \addbibresource{bibliography.bib} in the preamble (after loading the biblatex package), and insert \printbibliography in the document in the location where the formatted bibliography is supposed to be inserted.

I'm not aware of the existence of a ready-made biblatex style called prop. Given your comment that you were "advised to use \bibliographystyle{prop} and \bibliography{<databasefilename>}, [a]nd then to run through bibtex," I will assume that you really do need to use the cite package with BibTeX as the back-end, rather than the biblatex package with the biber back-end.

If the good folks who provide the LaTeX document class file prop2015.cls also provide a bibliography style file called prop.bst, and if the raw bibliographic entries are contained in a file called bibliography.bib, you should thus proceed as follows.

First, reorganize your document so that its structure resembles the following layout:

\documentclass{prop2015}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
%%\usepackage[english]{babel} % Don't load packages more than once
\usepackage{amsmath}
%%\usepackage{amsfonts} % Is loaded automatically by 'amssymb'
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{breqn}

\usepackage{cite} % the package called "cite"
\bibliographystyle{prop}

\usepackage{hyperref} % this package must be loaded _last_

\begin{document}
%% ... various \cite instructions ...
\bibliography{bibliography} % don't use the ".bib" extension here
\end{document}

(Aside: Do please make a habit of not trying to load packages more than once.)

Second, once the document compiles without syntax errors, be sure to run LaTeX, BibTeX, and LaTeX twice more on the main tex file. Doing so will create (a) the formatted bibliography and (b) the numeric-style citation call-outs to the bib entries in the body of the document.
