Structure Your Paper

Learn how to structure your paper for publication. IEEE has put together some tips and best practices for what should be included in your conference paper.

Your paper title should be specific, concise, and descriptive. Avoid using unnecessary words such as “new” or “novel”. Include keywords that will help a reader find your paper.

Provide a concise summary of the research conducted. Include the conclusions reached and the potential implications of those conclusions. Your abstract should also:

  • consist of a single paragraph up to 250 words, with correct grammar and unambiguous terminology;
  • be self-contained with no abbreviations, footnotes, references, or mathematical equations;
  • highlight what is unique in your work;
  • include 3-5 keywords or phrases that describe the research, with any abbreviations clearly defined,  to help readers find your paper.

First Footnote

Funding footnote.

If the research reported in your paper was supported by a funding source, include the funder’s name and grant information in a footnote on the first page of the paper.

Human and animal research statements

For papers reporting on research involving human subjects or animals, complete and include one of the following human/animal research statements in a footnote on the first page of the paper:

  • Papers That Are Reporting on Human/Animal Research and Have Review Board Approval:   This work involved human subjects or animals in its research. Approval of all ethical and experimental procedures and protocols was granted by (Name of Review Board or Committee) (if provided under Application No. xx, and performed in line with the (Name of Specific Declaration (if applicable/provided)).
  • Papers That Are Reporting on Human/Animal Research and Are Exempt From Review Board Approval: This work involved human subjects or animals in its research. The author(s) confirm(s) that all human/animal subject research procedures and protocols are exempt from review board approval.

Refer to the IEEE’s policy on Research on Human and Animal Subjects .

Introduction

Help the reader understand why your research is important and what it is contributing to the field.

  • Start by giving the reader a brief overview of the current state of research in your subject area.
  • Progress to more detailed information on the specific topic of your research.
  • End with a description of the exact question or hypothesis that your paper will address.

Also state your motivation for doing your research and what it will contribute to the field.

Formulate your research question. It should include:

  • a detailed description of the question;
  • the methods you used to address the question;
  • the definitions of any relevant terminology;
  • any equations that contributed to your work.

Welcome to the Purdue OWL

This page is brought to you by the OWL at Purdue University. When printing this page, you must include the entire legal notice.

Copyright ©1995-2018 by The Writing Lab & The OWL at Purdue and Purdue University. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, reproduced, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed without permission. Use of this site constitutes acceptance of our terms and conditions of fair use.

Contained in this page are some basic guidelines for formatting a paper in IEEE style. The best way to format your paper may vary slightly depending on which field you’re working in and the specifics of where your paper is being submitted, so remember to double-check against any submission guidelines provided by the organization, instructor, or supervisor to whom you are submitting your paper.

  • The paper title should be centered at the top of the first page, in 24-point type.
  • Author’s name (or authors’ names)
  • Author affiliation(s)
  • City & country location(s)
  • E-mail address(es).
  • The body of the paper should be in 10-point type, and formatted to appear in two columns. The columns on the last page should be the same length; this may require adding a column break after you have finished the body of your paper.
  • All papers must begin with an abstract and index terms.

Note to Practitioners

Nomenclature.

  • Acknowledgements
  • Papers may be divided into sections and subsections; IEEE has guidelines for primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary section headings.
  • IEEE papers begin with a drop cap two lines deep, followed by the next 8-12 characters (or 1-2 words, whichever is appropriate) in all caps.
  • Figures, tables, and equations should each be numbered consecutively, but separately. They should also be centered in the column in which they appear.

An IEEE abstract should be written as a single paragraph roughly 200 words long, give or take 50 words. (Abstracts shorter than 150 words or longer than 250 risk incurring the irritation of the editors.) It should be self-contained, and should concisely & accurately summarise the contents of your paper. It is encouraged to try and include three or four keywords or key phrases to help interested readers to find your article.

Abstracts should be simply formatted, without anything that requires specialized typesetting or consultation of material outside the abstract. Abbreviations, footnotes, references, tables, graphs, charts, figures, and displayed mathematical equations are specifically forbidden. The goal of an abstract is to be a simple, accessible, and self-contained microcosm of your paper.

Here is an example of how you might format an abstract:

The abstract should be followed by index terms. These should be in a paragraph separate from the abstract. Index terms are similar to keywords and are provided by the paper’s author to help journals, editors, and readers categorize, archive, or locate your paper. IEEE maintains a standardized list of index terms to make this process easier and its categories more consistent. The most recent version of the  IEEE Taxonomy  can be found on the IEEE website. Here is a link to the 2019 version of the taxonomy .

Index terms should be given in alphabetical order; the first should be capitalized, and the rest lowercase unless they contain acronyms or other components that inherently require capitalization.

Here is an example of how you might format a set of index terms:

Section Headings

Dividing one’s paper into clearly labelled sections increases readability, and is encouraged. Typical sections include Introduction and Conclusion sections as well as sections within the body of the paper that relate to aspects of its content.

Primary headings are enumerated with Roman numerals followed by a period, set in small caps, and centered above the text.

Secondary headings are enumerated with capital letters followed by a period,   set in italics and title case, left-aligned, unindented, and separated from the text by a line break.

Tertiary headings are enumerated by Arabic numerals followed by a close-parenthesis, set in italics and title case, left-aligned, indented one em, and separated from the text by a colon. There is no line break between the heading and the text. 

Quaternary headings are enumerated by lowercase letters followed by a close-parenthesis, set in italics and sentence case, left-aligned, indented two ems, and separated from the text by a colon. There is also no line break here.

Here is an example of what the various headings should look like in your document:

I. Primary Heading

                  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Fermentum leo vel orci porta non pulvinar neque laoreet suspendisse.

A. Secondary Heading

                  Odio ut enim blandit volutpat maecenas volutpat blandit aliquam. Amet consectetur adipiscing elit pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et.

         1) Tertiary Heading:  Libero justo laoreet sit amet cursus sit. Enim nec dui nunc mattis enim ut tellus elementum sagittis.

                  a) Quaternary heading:  Nibh ipsum consequat nisl vel pretium lectus. Malesuada proin libero nunc consequat interdum varius.

Special Headings

In addition to the standard headings above, there are a few special cases. References and Acknowledgments are formatted like primary headings, but are not enumerated.

Appendix headings should be arranged under a separate system, though formatted like primary headings; if there is only one appendix, it requires neither a number nor a name, but is simply labelled Appendix. If there are multiple appendices, they should be numbered and titled, though one should note that the numbering system for appendix headings is wholly separate from that of section headings; they start at one, regardless of how many sections were present within the paper. Appendices may be enumerated either with Roman numerals or with capital letters, according to the preference of the author, as long as it is done with consistency. Unlike section headings, the number will come after the word “Appendix”: Appendix A rather than A. Appendix. They should have titles, set on the line below them but still formatted like a section heading.

Here is an example of how you might format the beginning of an appendix:

Regarding the Vermiform Process

                  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. At augue eget arcu dictum varius.

If at any point you wish to refer back to a previous section within the text of your paper – e.g. “As mentioned in [section]…” – you should capitalize the word “Section” and separate subsections from the primary section numeral with a hyphen. E.g., “Section IV,” “Section II-A,” “Section III-B4c,” etc.

The Note to Practitioners, if you choose to include one, goes below your abstract. The aim of the Note is to, without repeating any of the information from your abstract, explain the practical applications of your work without use of jargon. This is so that engineers working on practical problems, who may not have significant background in your particular field, will be able to understand the application of your work to theirs.

A Note to Practitioners can be more than one paragraph, but is otherwise formatted like the abstract.

Here is an example of what a Note to Practitioners might look like:

                  Note to Practitioners – Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Enim sit amet venenatis urna cursus eget nunc scelerisque. Feugiat vivamus at augue eget arcu dictum. Lorem donec massa sapien faucibus et molestie. Pellentesque nec nam aliquam sem.

                  Vel quam elementum pulvinar etiam non quam lacus suspendisse. Velit scelerisque in dictum non consectetur a. Phasellus vestibulum lorem sed risus ultricies tristique nulla. Gravida neque convallis a cras semper auctor. At elementum eu facilisis sed odio morbi quis commodo.

                  Cursus eget nunc scelerisque viverra mauris in. Fames ac turpis egestas integer eget. Viverra mauris in aliquam sem fringilla ut morbi.

If your paper uses a number of different symbols, variables, and so forth, you may want to avoid having to define them within the body of your paper by providing a list of definitions up front; this is called the Nomenclature section. If you choose to include a Nomenclature section, it goes immediately before the Introduction section.

The heading for the Nomenclature section is formatted like a primary heading with no numeral, and the section itself is formatted generally the same as body text, including the italicization of variables. The main difference is the way in which the text must be aligned: the terms being defined are flush against the left margin, and the definitions are aligned one em-space after the longest defined term.

If you are working in a word processor, the easiest way to do this is often to insert a table into your document with invisible borders below the Nomenclature heading. See the images below for an example. Note that the images have been zoomed in to enlarge the text for clarity purposes.

This image shows a document open in a word processor with a nomenclature section formatted in IEEE style.

Example of a nomenclature section

This image shows the same document as above, but the table used to format nomenclature section now has its borders set to visible. This reveals how tables with invisible borders can be used to format text attractively.

Guidelines for Research Reports and Integrative Lit Reviews   |  Samples of Research  Reports  |  Samples of Integrative Lit Reviews  | Reviewers’ Expectations

About Research Reports  

The most commonly published format in the IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication, these articles report quantitative, qualitative, critical, and mixed methods studies  and their results. Examples include experiments, textual analyses, content analyses, surveys, design research, interview-based studies, usability tests, and ethnographies.

About Integrative Literature Reviews 

A new type of research report actively sought for the IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication, integrative literature reviews are  an empirical research report that systematically collects, classifies, and analyzes a body of literature on a topic.  As part of the research report, authors of integrative literature reviews describe the methodology used to search, choose and code studies, and focus on providing a critique or interpretation rather than just reporting data.  Popular in other disciplines because they succinctly summarize and empirically assess all of the literature on a particular topic, these types of articles are actively recruited by the Transactions .

Guidelines:

Note : We recognize that, in our effort to focus on readers and be clear with authors, our guidelines are extensive and directive. We hope, however, this detailed guidance provides authors with the strongest possible guidance and ensures the most positive outcome possible from the peer-review process.

Formatting References Follow the IEEE style for formatting references, which differs from the APA and MLA styles that are more widely used among professional communicators.For instructions on formatting references, see .
Formatting Text Note specific guidelines regarding:

See the for details.

This section is intended to situate the study and explain its significance.
Open this section by:

Close this section by:

This section situates this study within the larger body of literature. Although professional communication is an interdisciplinary field and readers have eclectic interests, the one thing that connects readers of this journal is their interest in professional communication. Therefore, make sure that the literature review situates the study within the larger conversation on professional communication.
Immediately following the Literature Review heading,  add a short paragraph that provides a preview of the Literature Review section.  The paragraph should follow this format: SENTENCE 1: In 30 to 40 words, state the overall purpose of the section. SENTENCE 2: This section starts with
Start the Literature Review with a sub-section that has the title:Theoretical Orientation
In the Theoretical Orientation section, describe the theoretical orientation underlying the study.Some of the theory presented later should be moved to this section.
Next, explain how you selected literature to include in the review.Explicitly state which topics were chosen (and, if they were not mentioned in the discussion of the theoretical framework, explain why you chose them):

Then, theme by theme, present the relevant literature as it relates to this study.
If you are presenting a qualitative study, end the discussions of each topic with the suggestion of a relationship that will be explored in the study. Do yet present the research questions.
If you are reporting a quantitative, hypothesis testing study:

For each hypothesis tested, you might state something like, “Based on the relationship between A and B suggested in the literature, we propose this hypothesis: STATE THE HYPOTHESIS.”

Note that readers of the come from a wide variety of research traditions. So regardless of the methods employed in your study, a large group of readers will have limited experience with them. To help them follow the study—and to provide other researchers with as much information as possible so that they could replicate the study (a purpose of all research reporting)—the Methodology reporting is expanded.  Some of it is to bring about transparency, some of it is to bring about greater clarity to all of the readers.
Immediately following the Methodology heading, add a short paragraph that provides a preview of the Methodology section.  The paragraph should follow this format: SENTENCE 1: In 30 to 40 words, state the overall purpose of the section. SENTENCE 2: This section starts with
If you are not conducting a study in which hypotheses are being tested (which are presented at the end of the Literature Review section), repeat the research questions.
Next add a section, Choice of Research Methodology.In it, explain the choice of the research method chosen and why you chose it over other quantitative, qualitative or critical methodologies.
Next explain how the study was conducted.Note that many authors often mix methods and results in this section.  Please only explain the data was collected, do not report data was collected.  That will be reported in the Results section.
When describing how the data was collected, include information about each of the following though the order will vary depending on the nature of the study:

provide detailed, descriptive information about the actual participants.  Save that information for the Results section. : Only explain how the data was collected—do not report any of the data that was collected.  Hold that for the results section. : The use of software is not a data analysis procedure.  It is merely a tool to assist with the process.  However, the tool should be named in the data analysis section as the tool used.
Present the data collected and its analysis in this section.
Start the section with a short paragraph that provides a preview of the Results section.  The paragraph should follow this format. SENTENCE 1: In 30 to 40 words, state the overall purpose of the section. SENTENCE 2: This section starts with
The nature of the reporting varies, depending on the nature of the study.  Here are some suggestions that cover the types of research most commonly presented in the
Hypothesis testing:

Avoid providing readers with “statistics before [readers] get any narrative sense of outcomes or significance. Frontload narrative, background and support with the math. The ‘story’ of this study needs to be told in a way that makes the reading” easy.

Qualitative study:

This section closes the article by describing the broader implications of the study.This section has 3 separate sub-sections:

The sub-sections should be presented in this order.

Conclusions.  Present the implications of the findings within the larger context of professional communication.Link the conclusions back to the literature cited earlier.  In some research traditions, this is called the Discussion.
Limitations should openly acknowledge all of the limitations of the article.Some typical issues that need to be addressed:

Close the article with suggestions for future research that would build on this one.
Do not place an additional set of Conclusions at the end of the article.
Please write the Abstract as a structured abstract.  Research has shown that these types of abstracts help readers better remember the article.The format for a structured abstract for a research article or integrative literature review is:

Summarize your purpose and rationale (1 to 2 sentences)
Explicitly state the research questions

Citing Secondary Sources The IEEE style does not allow for the use of secondary sources. Locate the original source of information which is cited in a work which you have read. If the original source cannot be located, it should not be cited in your own work.  

Citing Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools

For more information see the guide:  . 

For this style, we recommend that you reference content that is generated from an AI tool as . To reference Software using IEEE, you will need to include the following elements:

: (version or year), Publisher Name. Accessed: Date (when applicable). [Type of Medium]. Available: site/path/file

Example:

 (2023), OpenAI. Accessed Feb 23, 2023. [Online]. Available: 

To reference an , you need to include the following elements: a Fig. number, the image, a caption that explains that the output was generated using an AI tool and the prompt that was used. Here is an example: 

. Image generated using Copilot Designer from the prompt create an image that ecapsulates how to find the best evidence in a Library; do not include any people in the image. 

If you want to , in your own work, the IEEE recommends including a Fig. number, the image, a description of the image and the creator/s of the image, and a numbered in-text citation. You will need to include the full citation details in a reference list entry. 

Here is an example for a : 

Fig 1. Robots masquerading as journalists as created by Alice Rosa using an Adobestock Firefly an AI machine learning model [1]

The reference entry would be:

M. Attard, M, Davis, and L. Main, "Gen AI and journalism," Centre for Media Transition, University of Technology Sydney, Australia. 2024. Accessed: May 22, 2024. [Online]. Available: https://www.uts.edu.au/sites/default/files/2023-12/GEN%20AI%20and%20Journalism_web%20version.pdf   

(NB: The example provided is for a Report. Depending on the published source, you will need to reference the respective published source, according to the conventions for that specific source).  

Please note: The information in this Guide is subject to change, as guidance on referencing AI tools continues to evolve.

See pages 10 - 11 of the for more information on citing Software.

It may be appropriate to your discipline of study to use in-line contextual discussion about how you used and manipulated the generative AI tool and content, for example parameters to generate the content, as well as any further fine-tuning carried out.

Templates and Instructions for Authors

J-ERM publishes two main types of articles: papers and comments.  

The maximum page number is 6 for a Research paper and 10 for a Review paper, without counting the citation pages and the Visual Summary/Take-home Messages page.

Please note that the first page should be the page for “Visual Summary” and “Take-Home Messages” as same as first page in the template WORD file. The format should follow the template. The submission manuscript should be one single pdf file. Please do not include individual figure graphical files.  For resubmission, please include one highlight-marked manuscript pdf file indicating changes from the previous submission and the revised manuscript pdf file. Both should include the first page of Visual Summary and Take-Home Messages.

Download the Word template.

LaTex users: Please use the standard IEEE Transactions Template (below).

Download the zip file of the LaTex template.

LaTex users: You can also use the standard IEEE Transactions Template. And then download the first page of our template in Word (below), complete it, and upload it as a separate file with your submission. We will combine it with your LaTex paper to make a complete submission for review.

Download the First Page Template for LaTex users.

Choose this option if your paper is a research article that fits our scope. Email us if you would like us to review your abstract for fit before you submit. Authors of Review papers and Critical Review papers should communicate with the editors first.

Download the template.

Choose the Comment format for case studies, industry reports, and challenges to the research community. Comment papers will be peer-reviewed but as communications more than a full research paper.

Instructions for Authors

Submit articles for publication in J-ERM through  Manuscript Central . All submissions must follow the publication policies and IEEE J-ERM template. All submissions must include both a graphical abstract (visual summary)  and a brief list of “take-home messages”(bullet-points) .  

Acknowledgements, Conflicts of Interest

  • A description of sources of funding, financial disclosure, and the role of sponsors must be included in the  Acknowledgements  section of the manuscript. Technical support and administrative support that are related to the research work in the manuscript are welcome to be included in the  Acknowledgements
  • Authors must disclose any personal or institutional financial interests related to the subject(s) of the manuscript. It is not unusual for J-ERM authors to be owners or employees of companies that are developing the technologies described in their manuscript. There is nothing wrong with this, but editors, reviewers, and readers should be made aware of such conflicts of interests; thus, these facts must be disclosed.

IEEE Citation | Quick Guide & Examples

IEEE citation format is a way of citing your sources in a paper. IEEE stands for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the association that created the guidelines.

It is a commonly used citation style in electrical and electronic engineering, in computer science, and in other technical disciplines. It is also used in IEEE’s own publications.

IEEE citation format consists of:

  • Numerical in-text citations appearing in brackets
  • A numbered reference list with full source information
Further discussion of constrained optimization can be found in Lindberg and Lee [1].
[1] D. V. Lindberg and H. K. H. Lee, “Optimization under constraints by applying an asymmetric entropy measure,” , vol. 24, no. 2, pp. 379–393, Jun. 2015, doi: 10.1080/10618600.2014.901225.

Table of contents

Ieee in-text citation, ieee references, formatting the reference page, frequently asked questions about ieee citation.

An IEEE in-text citation is just a number in brackets, pointing the reader to the relevant reference. Use the same number each time if you refer to the same source repeatedly. You may also mention the author’s name in your sentence, but you don’t have to.

IEEE citations can be placed at the relevant point in the sentence, before any punctuation that follows. Multiple citations at the same point are separated by commas , a range of citations by an en dash (–, outside the brackets, with no spaces).

A more concise option is to treat the citations as nouns in your sentence, in which case you don’t mention any author names. If you take this approach, be consistent. Don’t switch between the two approaches in one paper.

If you quote or paraphrase a specific part of the source, include a page number within the brackets to point the reader to the right part.

Prevent plagiarism. Run a free check.

The IEEE reference page provides full information on your sources, so that readers can locate and consult them. You’ll usually include the author’s name, the title of the source, the publication date, information about the publisher, and sometimes a DOI .

The exact information included and the formatting vary by source type. Formats and examples for common source types are shown below.

The IEEE reference page appears on a separate page at the end of your paper, with the heading “References” at the top. The heading is written in bold text, either left-aligned or centered.

References are numbered in the order they were first cited in the text. The numbers appear in brackets on the left side of the page, forming their own column separate from the references, which are indented consistently.

The references are single-spaced, with the next reference appearing on the following line.

Formatting the reference page

IEEE citation format is defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and used in their publications.

It’s also a widely used citation style for students in technical fields like electrical and electronic engineering, computer science, telecommunications, and computer engineering.

An IEEE in-text citation consists of a number in brackets at the relevant point in the text, which points the reader to the right entry in the numbered IEEE reference page at the end of the research paper . For example, “Smith [1] states that a new protocol will indubitably pay off.”

A location marker such as a page number is also included within the brackets when needed: “Smith [1, p. 13] argues that the poet made facetious comments.”

The IEEE reference page consists of a list of references numbered in the order they were cited in the text. The title “References” appears in bold at the top, either left-aligned or centered.

The numbers appear in square brackets on the left-hand side of the page. The reference entries are indented consistently to separate them from the numbers. Entries are single-spaced, with a normal paragraph break between them.
