IN-TEXT CITATIONS IN IEEE COMPUTER SOCIETY STYLE

IEEE style is a numeric style, which means that each reference is given a number in the main body of the text, in chronological order. The number is enclosed in square brackets [1].

1. Author Names In this style you are encourage to substitute reference numbers for the names of authors:

As [2] and [3] explain, this is not the most logical…

2. Multiple References You may include multiple references in the same bracket. When more than one work is included in the same citation separate the citation numbers with commas and without any spaces.

As suggested earlier, many studies reached similar conclusions [1,6,9,11].
