What IEEE includes

These are the details of the example above that the style prints, so they are the ones to collect for your own source.

  • Page Title
  • Author(s)
  • URL
  • Date Accessed

Capture the URL and access date before navigating away. Check bylines, footers, or "About" pages for author and publication date information.

The formatting comes from the style's own file, so check the finer points against your guide. What to check by hand in IEEE.
