In-text Citations:
· In-text citations are numbered in the order they appear in the text; are set off with square brackets; and grammatically, they are treated like footnote numbers.
· When citing multiple sources at once, separate each bracketed number with a comma.
Ex: ...as mentioned earlier [2], [4], [5], [6], [7], [9]...
· In-text citations can include the author’s name as part of the text.
Ex 1: ...as shown by Brown [4]…
Ex 2: ...Studies by Smith [10] and Brown and Jones [5]...
· For in-text citations, if a source as 3 or more authors, list just the first author and “et al.”
Ex: According to Wood et al. [7]...
References List:
· Instead of a standard hanging indent, IEEE reference pages follow this format:
[1] B. Klaus and P. Horn, Robot Vision. Cambridge, MA,
USA: MIT Press, 1986.
· Sources in the reference list are organized and numbered in the order they appear in the paper.
· If a source is cited more than once, it retains the same number and is not repeated in the ref list.
· Author names use first (and middle if provided) initial followed by the last name. Ex: R. L. Myer
· Two authors are separated by the word “and.”
Ex: B. Klaus and P. Horn
· 3-6 authors are separated by commas with an “and” before the last author. Ex: D. Caratelli, M. C. Cigano, G. Toso, and P. Angeletti
· For 6 or more authors, list the first author followed by “et al.” Ex: M. Ito et al.
· Sources found online will generally include at least one of the following elements: a DOI, a DOI resolver (turns a DOI into a URL), or a website URL.
* doi: 10.3886/ICPSR30122.v2
* doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR30122.v2
* Available:http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/I cpsrweb/SAMHDA/studies/30122/version/
· References that end with a DOI will end with a period. References that end with a URL will not end with a period. Do not allow URLs to hyperlink.
