How does IEEE list authors?

Initials come before the surname, as A. M. Turing. Two authors are joined with and, three to six are separated by commas, and more than six print as the first author followed by et al.

How do I cite a range of references in IEEE?

Write each number in brackets, such as [1], [2], or a range such as [1]–[3]. The page shows the bracketed form for the sources you entered.

Should the journal title be abbreviated?

IEEE uses standard abbreviations such as IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory. Type the abbreviation in the journal field; the formatter prints what you enter and does not abbreviate titles itself.

What if a journal article has no DOI?

Leave DOI empty and fill in the URL; the reference ends with [Online]. Available: and the link, as IEEE prints online sources.

IEEE Citation Generator

This page opens the citation generator on IEEE reference style, used in engineering and computer science. Add sources in the order you cite them and each reference is numbered in square brackets: initials before surnames, article titles in quotation marks, the journal with vol., no. and pp., the year and the DOI. Books take an optional place of publication printed as Place: Publisher, and web pages print the URL with the date you accessed it. The in-text form is the bracketed number, such as [1].
