BibTeX to IEEE Converter

The converter follows the IEEE Reference Guide:

• Authors: initials before the surname. Up to six authors are listed; with seven or more, the first author followed by et al.
• Titles: article and paper titles in quotation marks; journal, conference and book titles in italics.
• Numbers: vol., no. and pp. before the numbers, and the DOI at the end when the entry has one.
• Accents: LaTeX macros such as Kr{\"a}mer are decoded to Krämer.

For an IEEE submission, you do not need this converter: keep the .bib and let LaTeX format the references.

\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\bibliography{references}

IEEEtran formats every \cited entry in IEEE style when you compile. Use this converter when you need IEEE references outside LaTeX: in a Word document, slides, a CV, a web page, or to check how an entry will look. For the whole submission, our IEEE template guide covers the template step by step.

• Journal abbreviations. IEEE uses abbreviated journal names (IEEE Trans. Pattern Anal. Mach. Intell.). The converter prints the name in your .bib, so abbreviate it there, or export abbreviated names from your reference manager.
• Conference papers. An @inproceedings entry needs booktitle for the conference name; IEEE also prints the location and date when they are in the entry.
• Wrong entry types. A conference paper saved as @article prints without "in" and the conference name. Fix the type in your .bib and convert again.
