Refer to the literature

Use reference style IEEE. The style guide with all the rules is available .

The IEEE reference style is a numerical system of reference. The references are numbered consecutively in the text and the bibliography at the end of the text lists all these numbers in ascending order. References to the same publication are automatically given the same number in the text.

A number of general rules and common examples can be found below.

Add unique identifiers to a reference if you have it at your disposal. This relates to DOI’s, ISBN/ISSN numbers.

Scientific journals often have a fixed abbreviation. Like for example IEEE Trans. Circuits Syst. (IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems). The IEEE reference style uses abbreviations by default.

Scientific publications often have multiple authors. If there are more than six authors, only include the name of the first author followed by et.al.
