IEEE Citation Style Guide

IEEE Citation Style Guide (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers)

Overview: IEEE citation style is widely used in engineering, computer science, and technical disciplines. It uses numbered references, ensuring clarity and brevity.

In-Text Citations

• Format: Use bracketed numbers referring to the reference list.
  Example: The algorithm improved performance significantly [1].
• Multiple Citations: Combine brackets for multiple references.
  Example: Several studies confirm this result [1], [3], [5].

References Section

• Order: List references numerically, not alphabetically.
• Journal Article: [1] J. Doe, "Efficient algorithms for data mining," IEEE Transactions on Computers, vol. 67, no. 3, pp. 456–467, Mar. 2021.
• Book: [2] J. Smith, Introduction to Computer Science, 2nd ed., New York, NY, USA: Academic Press, 2020.
• Conference Paper: [3] E. Brown, "Advances in AI for robotics," in Proc. IEEE Int. Conf. Robotics,
  2022, pp. 102–108.

Formatting Basics

• Font and Spacing: Times New Roman, 12 pt; single-space entries, double-space between entries.
• Reference List: Numbers in brackets; hanging indent for each entry.
