ASME Reference Style

IEEE Reference Style

The IEEE Editorial Style Manual for Authors contains a formal set of editorial guidelines for IEEE Transactions, Journals, and Letters.

The IEEE Mathematics Guide illustrates how mathematical equations should be rendered in a technical article.

The IEEE Reference Guide outlines how to cite a variety of references in IEEE style. To cite specific IEEE periodicals, check the list of IEEE journal and magazine titles and reference abbreviations.

The Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) also includes resources for using IEEE style.

For spelling reference, IEEE uses The Merriam-Webster Dictionary. For guidance on grammar and usage not included in the IEEE Editorial Style Manual, consult The Chicago Manual of Style, published by the University of Chicago Press.
