One of the popular citation styles used in EEE is the IEEE citation style.
It is a numbered style with two components:
1. In-text references where references are numbered [1] in the order of appearance in the article
2. A reference list, displayed at the end of the article, provides full details of all references cited in the text. The references are ordered as they appear in the text. (In the order of citation, not in alphabetical order). Please note that the IEEE style has variations as well.
Some examples of references in IEEE citation style are given below
Author(s) First name or initials. Surname, or name of organization, Title of book followed by a full stop if there is no edition statement, or comma if there is an edition statement, ed., Edition (except the first). Place of Publication City: Publisher, Year of Publication.
Example:
[1] C. W. Lander, Power Electronics, 3rd. ed., London: McGraw-Hill, 1993.
[2] Author(s) First name or initials. Surname, “Title of paper,” in Title of the Conference, Editor/s first name last name if available, Ed. Place of publication: Publisher if available, Date of publication, pp. first and last pages of the paper.
Example:
A. H. Cookson and B. O. Pedersen, “Thermal measurements in a 1200kV compressed gas insulated transmission line,” in Seventh IEEE Power Engineering Society Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exposition, 1979, pp. 163-167.
Author(s) First name or initials. Surname, “Title of article,” Title of journal, vol. volume, (issue number), pp. first and last pages of the article, Date of issue month if available year.
Example:
[3] K. P. Dabke and K. M. Thomas, “Expert system guidance for library users,” Library Hi Tech, vol. 10, (1-2), pp. 53-60, 1992.
Preparing for your final year project? Check out the citation style for FYP, specified by the school of EEE in the Student Guidelines, Appendix A.
Examples from the guidelines for citing different types of references are given below.
Each reference, be it from a journal, text book or conference proceedings, should be listed consistently, as in the example below.
