    What is IEEE Citation Style?

    IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) citation style is the standard format for technical and engineering publications. It uses a numbered reference system where sources are cited in the order they appear in the text using square brackets [1], [2], etc.

    IEEE style emphasizes precision and consistency in technical documentation, with specific formats for different source types including journal articles, conference proceedings, patents, and electronic sources. It's particularly well-suited for papers with many technical references.

    When to Use IEEE Style

    IEEE Citation FAQ

    What is IEEE citation style?

    IEEE citation style is the standard format used by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. It uses a numbered reference system where sources are cited in order of appearance with square brackets [1], [2], etc.

    When should I use IEEE style?

    Use IEEE style for papers in engineering, technology, computer science, and related technical fields. Many engineering conferences and journals require IEEE format for submissions.

    How do I cite multiple sources at once in IEEE?

    For multiple consecutive references, use a dash: [1]-[3]. For non-consecutive references, separate with commas: [1], [3], [5]. Always maintain numerical order.

    What's the difference between IEEE and other citation styles?

    IEEE uses numbered references in square brackets in order of appearance, focuses on technical abbreviations, and emphasizes electronic source accessibility dates—distinct from author-date systems like APA.
