📖 IEEE reference format
IEEE is a numbered style: sources are numbered in the order you first cite them, and the text uses the number in square brackets, e.g. "as shown in [1]".
Journal article
Book
Website
📝 IEEE rules to remember
- Initials first: A. B. Surname, not Surname, A. B.
- Up to six authors are listed; seven or more become the first author et al.
- Article titles go in “double quotes”; journal and book titles in italics.
- Numbering: the generator prints [1] — renumber each reference to match the order it first appears in your text.
- Same source again? Reuse its original number; do not give it a new one.
