The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) style requires that references appear at the end of the text, not in alphabetical order but in the order in which the sources are cited in the text. A bracketed reference number precedes each entry. For speakers, this means creating a bibliography of sources listed in the order in which they are cited in the speech. For more information on IEEE documentation, check the IEEE Standards Style Manual online at https://development.standards.ieee.org/myproject/Public/mytools/draft/styleman.pdf

1. Book List the author by first initial and last name followed by a comma. Then list the book’s title in italics and the edition (if applicable). Finally, list the place of publication, the publisher, the date of publication, and the pages cited.
