Included in this guide are the referencing and style guides to be used when creating materials for courses. The three sections include:
General Referencing/Citations (in-text citation and reference lists) – uses IEEE referencing standards
General Mathematics – uses IEEE style guide
Abbreviations for Units – uses IEEE style guide
The following guide is based on the IEEE Editorial Style Manual [1]. The manual is also available on the IEEE website. General Referencing/Citations The IEEE citation style is used primarily for electronics, engineering, telecommunications, computer science, and information technology reports. The three main parts of a reference are as follows:
Author’s name listed as first initial of first name, then full last.
Title of article, patent, conference paper, etc., in quotation marks.
Title of journal or book in italics.
In-text Citations
Each citation must be noted within the text through the use of simple sequential numbers. A number enclosed in square brackets, placed in the text of the report, indicates the specific reference. Citations are numbered in the order in which they appear. Once a source has been cited, the same number is used in all subsequent references in the report. No. distinction is made between electronic and print sources, except in the citation reference details (section 1.2).
Style guide to follow:
Each reference number should be enclosed in square brackets on the same line as the text, before any punctuation, with a space before the bracket.
Authors and dates do not have to be written out after the first reference; use the bracketed number. Also, it is not necessary to write “in reference [2].” Just write “in [2].”
Examples:
“The theory was first put forward in 1987 [1].”
“Scholtz [2] has argued. . . .”
“For example, see [7].”
“Several recent studies [3, 4, 15, 22] have suggested that. . . .”
• The preferred method to cite more than one source at a time is to list each reference in its own brackets, then separate with a comma or dash:
Examples:
[1], [3], [5]
[1] – [5]
1.2 Reference Lists
To finish citing sources, a numbered list of references must be provided. The list is comprised of the sequential enumerated citations, with details, beginning with [1], and is not alphabetical.
The following examples demonstrate the format for a variety of electronic and print sources. Please note the list is not extensive; only the most common are listed below.
