Questions

What does a journal article look like in IEEE style?

For the AlphaFold paper the generator gives: [1] J. Jumper et al., “Highly accurate protein structure prediction with AlphaFold,” Nature, vol. 596, no. 7873, pp. 583–589, Jul. 2021, doi: 10.1038/s41586-021-03819-2.

How do in-text citations work in IEEE?

IEEE uses bracketed numbers in citation order, placed inside the sentence: as shown in [1]. The reference list is numbered to match.

Initials come before the surname. With 7 or more authors, give the first author followed by et al.

How do I cite a DOI in IEEE?
