The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) referencing style is widely used for computing science, engineering and electronics and other technical related subjects.
The IEEE style is a numbered style where the numbers are included in-text in square brackets [1]. Numbers are assigned to references in order of use within a document and are next to the citation in the list of references which appear at the end of the document.
This style of referencing requires that you acknowledge the source of your information or ideas in two ways:
- numbered in-text [1] citations, and
- in a reference list at the end of your essay, which contains a full numbered list of all the references you have used.
