When writing an\nacademic paper, a student must avoid using other people\u2019s research without\ncrediting the author. Including the information that is not your own with no\nproper citation will be considered as plagiarism, which, in turn, will cause\npoor grades. Since in scientific community plagiarism is not tolerated in any\nform, it\u2019s crucial that you become aware of the various citation styles,\nincluding the subject of this article \u2013 IEEE. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike MLA and APA \u2013\nthe most familiar citation styles for the average student \u2013, IEEE doesn\u2019t\nrequire you to include the author\u2019s name in the sentence or in the main text\nitself. Instead, the style utilizes the number-based system where consecutive\nnumbers are used for every source that has been introduced. IEE is often used\nin computer science papers, for example, and makes the writing process as\nsimple and comfortable as possible. Easy or not, formatting may still be a\ntricky business for everyone unfamiliar with its key principles, so let\u2019s get\nright to the issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you\u2019ve introduced\nthe first source in the paper, add its number, which is 1 in this case, at the\nend of the sentence. Use square brackets to avoid any confusion \u2013 if you don\u2019t\ndo this, the reference will be harder to spot in the text. You don\u2019t have to\nuse the author\u2019s name in in-text citations, but our general recommendation to\ndo it at least once or twice in order to improve the text\u2019s readability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s look at the\nexample: \u201cThe idea was first presented in 2010 [1].\u201d<\/strong> The\nnumber \u201c1\u201d is used on the assumption that this is the first time a source has\nbeen introduced in a certain paper. Obviously, your work will be based on much\nmore than one source, and so you will use other numbers, too. Do it in the\nsequence: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Please pay attention\nthat there is a space before the opening bracket with the period after it. It\ndoesn\u2019t always work like that, and when you use the author\u2019s name, the\nreference usually takes the following form: \u201cSmith [2] claims, therefore,\nthat these initiatives are crucial to fend off the future attacks and to\nprotect the sovereignty of the State<\/strong>.\u201d As you can see, there are spaces\nboth before the opening bracket and after the ending one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both ways to present a\nreference are absolutely fine, by the way, and it\u2019s up to you which one to\nchoose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before we continue,\nlet us remind you that any attempt to trick a teacher will inevitably result in\nserious consequences. Not uniquely to the Institute of Electrical and\nElectronics Engineers style, citing false sources and quotes in the hope that\nno one will notice is forbidden and considered a breach of ethics. In some way,\nit\u2019s as bad as plagiarism itself, since in both cases, an author deliberately\ngives their readers false information, showing no respect to other people and\neven themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you feel that\nsearching for sources has become too difficult, we recommend letting\nprofessional writers help you. Instead of trying to trick your own audiences,\njust ask an experienced person for a piece of advice. By hiring a writer who\nhas successfully written dozens of academic papers, you\u2019ll have the opportunity\nto see the perfect example of how IEEE in-text citations and bibliography\nshould look. Moreover, you\u2019ll have all the necessary information quoted\ncorrectly, meaning that there will be no obstacles for you to get an A+. Using\na professional writer\u2019s work as an example when writing your text, you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Professional help or\nnot, you should understand the basics all the same. Let\u2019s return to our\ntopic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The list includes\nbibliographic information for books, magazines, articles, papers, and other\nsources that have been used in your text. IEEE requires an author to put it\ninto numerical order, meaning that the references follow each other just like\nthey do in the actual paragraphs \u2013 the second after the first one, one after\nanother. In APA, for comparison, the order in which sources appear in a text\ndoesn\u2019t mean that much; instead, a writer lists all the references\nalphabetically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What if you use a\ncertain source more than twice in your text?<\/strong> Do you have to give it a new number in\nsquare brackets every time? How many times should you add it to the reference\nlist? The answer is, one is enough. For both cases \u2013 one number, one position\nin the list. For example, if you quoted Smith\u2019s work in the first paragraph and\nmark it by the number [1], then you would use the same [1] quoting this very\nwork in the fourth paragraph. <\/p>\n\n\n\n First of all, give it\na proper title. In the IEEE style, the last page is titled \u201cReferences.\u201d You\nmay center the title if you\u2019ve been instructed to, but just leaving it at the\nleft part of the page is fine, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n After that, list all\nthe references you\u2019ve used in the text. The crucial part is to do it\nconsistently without jumping, for instance, from second to fifth source. Start\nthe reference with the author\u2019s first and last name (and not vice versa). For\nthe first name, just initialing is enough. Let\u2019s look at the examples below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [1] J. Smith \u2026 <\/strong>\u2013 that\u2019s the right way\nto start citation, according to the IEEE citation guide. Had you decided to use\na style more common in the academic field, you could have used something like\nthe following: \u201cSmith, John \u2026 \u201d<\/strong>. It would\u2019ve been a mistake in our case,\nso don\u2019t rely on your past experience too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Okay, but what\u2019s next?<\/p>\n\n\n\n A comma follows after\nan author\u2019s family name. Then, add one space and insert the italicized title of\nthe book you\u2019ve used as a source and capitalize the first letters of every\nword. End this part with a period before going to the next one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c[1] J.\nSmith, The Key Methodologies.<\/em><\/strong>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep in mind that\nwe\u2019ve highlighted the examples in bold print so that they could be more easily\nlocated. You shouldn\u2019t do the same with your reference page. Quotation marks\nare not needed, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After the title,\ninsert the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n [1] J. Smith, The Key Methodologies. <\/em>Washington:\nResearch Academy, 2020. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s it! You\u2019ll have\nto go through this procedure several times before the reference list is\ncompleted, but ultimately, it\u2019s not that complicated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Wait, wait, wait! What\nif there\u2019s more than one author?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unless there are at\nleast seven of them, you should include everyone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n [1] J. Smith, A. Brown, and S. Anderson \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When there are seven\nand more people, use \u201cet al.<\/em>\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n [1] J. Smith et al<\/em>., …<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The formatting rules\nmay vary depending on the type of material you\u2019ve quoted. The examples above\nare for printed books, but there are also magazines, reports, dissertations,\nand other materials a student may find useful. To learn more, familiarize\nyourself with the official IEEE style manual. This article is intended to make\nthings a bit easier for you, not to substitute the official guide\ncompletely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t hesitate to ask\nus for help if things have become too complicated. Remember: people aren\u2019t born\nperfect, and they certainly aren\u2019t born with the perfect knowledge of the IEEE\nstyle. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When writing an academic paper, a student must avoid using other people\u2019s research without crediting the author.
