What is IEEE?

IEEE stands for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. IEEE Style is a format for writing research papers frequently used in the fields of engineering and computer science. IEEE Style uses numbers (rather than an author's name) to refer to references listed in the reference list at the end of the paper. Citations are numbered in the order that they are cited in the text of the paper, rather than alphabetically. See either Purdue Owl or the Murdoch University Guide (links below) for examples of different types of references (books, conference papers, journal articles, datasets and more) and sample reference lists.
