• Only the author's initials are given, regardless of the presentation of the author's name on the journal article.
• Capitalisation practice should be consistent.
• Capitalise only the first word of an article title and the first letter of the subtitle, if applicable, except for proper nouns or acronyms. Every (important) word in the name of a journal must be capitalised.
• Use accepted abbreviations for journal names. Refer to IEEE Reference Style Guide and IEEE Abbreviations for guidance on abbreviations. Do not abbreviate journal names of only one word.
• Do not capitalise the "v" in volume for a journal article.
• Most months are abbreviated. You do not need to abbreviate May.
• To indicate a page range, use 123-9, 126-34 or 111-222. If you refer to only one page, use only 111.
• Note that references ending in a DOI have a full stop at the end; references ending in a URL do not.
When including the internet address of articles retrieved from searches in full-text databases, use the Recommended URLs for Full-text Databases, which are the URLs for the main entrance to the service and are easier to reproduce.
• Include the DOI of the article, if given. Access date is not required if there is a DOI available.
• Include the URL and date accessed for articles sourced from the Internet. Access date is not required if there is a DOI available.
