Writing & Citation
PLEASE NOTE: Librarians and other library staff can help you find examples and sample citations that you can model your citations on but we cannot copy-edit or 'correct' your citations or your writing for you.
It is important to follow IEEE editorial style in all writing assignments. The IEEE Editorial Style Manual contains a formal set of editorial guidelines for IEEE Transactions, Journals, and Letters, including:
For spelling reference, IEEE uses Webster’s New World College Dictionary, 4th Edition. 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.
You are writing to communicate your ideas and research, how can you make sure you are communicating well?
Clear - Coherent - Complete - Concise - Consistent - Correct - Credible
