PRACTICE WORK 6. Generation of literary sources in LATEX. Creation of a list of

references according to the requirements of the IEEE REFERENCE GUIDE

Purpose of work: To prepare a template for the generation of literary sources in

LATEX.
Since LATEX is intended for layout of scientific, especially mathematical and physical
texts, it provides the ability to generate a list of references. This is achieved by using
thebibliography environment. It looks like this:
\begin{thebibliography}{99}
\bibiitem {}Источник 1
\bibitem {}Источник 2
..................................
\end{thebibliography}

When printed, it will look like this:

REFERENCES

[1] Источник 1
[2] Источник 2
...........................
[N] Источник N

Assignment: Following the requirements of the IEEE REFERENCE GUIDE, write a list
of references in Latex according to the sources that you used to write the literature
review.
 I. Citing References—3

I. CITING REFERENCES

A. References in Text
References need not be cited in the text. When they are, they appear on the line, in square brackets, inside the
punctuation. Grammatically, they may be treated as if they were footnote numbers, e.g.:

as shown by Brown [4], [5]; as mentioned earlier [2], [4]–[7], [9]; Smith [4] and Brown and Jones [5]; Wood et
al. [7]
NOTE: Use et al. when three or more names are given for a reference cited in the text.
or as nouns:
as demonstrated in [3]; according to [4] and [6]–[9].

B. References Within a Reference

Check the reference list for ibid. or op. cit. These refer to a previous reference and should be eliminated from the
reference section. In text, repeat the earlier reference number and renumber the reference section accordingly. If the ibid.
gives a new page number, or other information, use the following forms:
[3, Th. 1]; [3, Lemma 2]; [3, pp. 5–10]; [3, eq. (2)]; [3, Fig. 1]; [3, Appendix I]; [3, Sec. 4.5]; [3, Ch. 2, pp. 5–10];
[3, Algorithm 5].
NOTE: Editing of references may entail careful renumbering of references, as well as the citations in text. Always
query the author when renumbering references and text citations.

II. STYLE
Reference numbers are set flush left and form a column of their own, hanging out beyond the body of the reference.
The reference numbers are on the line, enclosed in square brackets. In all references, the given name of the author or editor
is abbreviated to the initial only and precedes the last name. Use commas around Jr., Sr., and III in names. IEEE
publications must list names of all authors, up to six names. If there are more than six names listed, use the primary author’s
name followed by et al. For non-IEEE publications, et al. may be used if names are not provided. All references, except
those ending with URLs, will end with a period, including those with a DOI. However, if a reference contains both a
DOI or accessed date, as well as a URL, place the DOI after the URL and end with a period. Note that when citing
IEEE Transactions, if the issue number or month is not available, research IEEEXplore to update the information. For any
reference that cites two months for the same issue, the two months should be separated by a slash (e.g., Jul./Aug.), followed
by the year of publication. References may not include all information; please obtain and include relevant information. Do
not combine references. There must be only one reference with each number. If there is a URL included with the print
reference, it can be included at the end of the reference (see style for online references).

Periodicals
Prior to 1988, the volume number of IEEE Transactions/Journals carried the acronym of the journal. For example,
an issue of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AUTOMATIC CONTROL would read: IEEE Trans. Automat. Contr., vol. AC-
26, no. 1, pp. 1–34, Jan. 1981. When referencing IEEE Transactions, both the issue number and month are included
 II. Style—12

upon verification of frequency and starting month. DOIs are included, when provided by the author.

NOTE: The only exception to this rule is PROCEEDINGS OF THE IEEE, which never carried an acronym on the
masthead.

The most basic entry for a website consists of the author name(s), page title, website title, web address, and date
 III. Notes About Online References—17

accessed:

First Name Initial(s) Last Name. “Page Title.” Website Title. Web Address (retrieved Date Accessed).

J. Smith. “Obama inaugurated as President.” CNN.com.

http://www.cnn.com/POLITICS/01/21/obama_inaugurated/index.html (accessed Feb. 1, 2009).

The first author’s name should be first initial(s) and then the last name and a period. Titles and affiliations associated
with the author should be omitted. A suffix, such as a roman numeral or Jr./Sr., should appear after the author’s
given name, preceded by a comma.

For a page with two or more authors, list them in the order as they appear on the website. Separate author names by
a comma.

Include the web address of the page. Next, place the text “accessed” and the date on which you accessed the website
(written in the format of “month day, year”) in parentheses. Conclude the citation with a period after the
parentheses.

For informal websites (such as home page or fan websites) or websites without formal titles, use descriptive phrases

III. NOTES ABOUT ONLINE REFERENCES

The guidelines for citing electronic information as offered here are in modified illustration of the adaptation by the
International Standards Organization (ISO) documentation system and the American Psychological Association style.

There are various options for including a URL in a reference. Follow the order of details and whether a period needs
to be placed at the end of the reference. The style of the accessed date is “Accessed: Abbrev. month and day, year.” The
placement of the accessed date within the reference should match how it is provided in the final author-submitted version.

 Accessed date. [Online]. Available: URL, DOI (add period at end).

 Accessed date. [Online]. Available: URL (no period at end)
 Accessed date, DOI (add period at end).
 URL, DOI (add period at end).
 (no accessed date), DOI (add period at end unless hyperlink).
 URL (no period at end)
Guidelines for Breaking URLs:
 Break after slash or double slash.
 Break “before” the hyphen that is part of an address, but do not break after; do not add hyphens or spaces; do
not let addresses hyphenate.
 Break “before” a tilde (~), a hyphen, an underscore (_), a question mark, or a percent (%) symbol.
 Break before or after an equal sign or an ampersand (follow the same rule for the “at” (@) symbol).
