Full reference
Learn how to format full references in IEEE style. Follow correct order, punctuation, and layout to cite sources accurately in your academic work.
In IEEE, every source you cite should be in a reference list at the end of your work. Only include the sources you have cited.
The rules of IEEE determine:
- which elements are included (e.g. author, title, publisher)
- the order in which the elements appear
- punctuation (e.g. full stops, commas, colons, etc.)
- use of capital letters
- font format (e.g. italics).
Ensure you are following the template precisely, including the punctuation, spaces, capital letters and font format, as these form part of the style.
