About IEEE format
IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) style uses numbered bracketed references like [1], [2] in-text, with a numbered reference list in citation order. It's the standard in all electrical engineering, computer science, and most engineering disciplines.
When to use IEEE
IEEE is the standard in Engineering, computer science, electronics, technical writing. If your syllabus, professor, or target journal lists IEEE as the required style, this tool produces entries you can paste directly into your reference list with no further formatting needed.
How the IEEE citation generator works
- Paste a source. A URL, DOI, ISBN, or arXiv ID — the tool detects the type and fetches title, author, year, and other metadata from Crossref, OpenLibrary, or arXiv.
- Edit any field. Auto-filled metadata can be wrong. Switch to manual entry to fix the author order, add a missing publisher, or correct a date.
- Copy your IEEE citation. Click Copy and paste it into Word, Google Docs, or LaTeX. The plain-text version preserves italics through Unicode-friendly formatting that pastes cleanly into any editor.
- Build a bibliography. Save multiple sources, and the tool assembles them — alphabetized for the previous styles, or numbered in citation order for IEEE/Vancouver.
