Reference list example
See how to format an IEEE reference list. Follow citation order, layout, and style rules to present sources correctly in your academic work.
How to format your reference list
- Begin the reference list on a new page at the end of your document.
- Each resource should be numbered using square brackets in the order that they have been cited.
- Use the heading ‘Reference List’ at the top of the page.
- Use a hanging indent (approx. 0.75 cm or 4-5 spaces) to create a separate column for citation numbers. In Word, select your references and use Ctrl+T (Command+T on a Mac).
- Don't make the URL or DOI a hyperlink.
