Citing and Writing

IEEE citation style is used primarily for electronics, engineering, telecommunications, computer science, and information technology reports. Each citation contains two parts:

In-text citations, numbered within square brackets
A full reference list at the end of the document, organized numerically

The three main parts of a full reference in the reference list are as follows:

Author’s name listed as first initial of first name, then full last.
Title of article, patent, conference paper, etc., in quotation marks.
Title of journal or book in italics.
