IEEE - Referencing Guide

Sample Reference List

Formatting Your Reference List

The reference list should appear at the end of your paper. Begin the list on a new page.

The title References should be either left justified or centered on the page.

The hanging indent for each reference makes the numerical sequence more obvious.

The entries should appear as one numerical sequence in the order that the material is cited in the text of your assignment.
