Forty References in Six Minutes: Escaping the Horror of Manual APA Formatting
How an OSCOLA citation generator handles footnotes and case names, what a DOI lookup can and cannot fetch, and how to build a whole bibliography in one pass.
IEEE Citation Generator: Numbered References
Produce IEEE references with the bracketed numbers your text cites them by, plus the matching in-text form. For engineering and technical reports.

Frequently asked questions
How does IEEE number its references?
In the order the sources are first cited, not alphabetically. Every entry you add gets its number as you build the list, and the bracketed form [1] is shown beside it so the reference list and the text stay in step.
How do I cite the same source twice?
Reuse the existing number rather than adding a second entry, which is what IEEE expects. The in-text form is available to copy on its own, so a repeated citation costs one paste and no new reference.
What about a standard, a patent or a conference paper?
Those source types are all in the list, with the fields IEEE asks for on each: the standard number, the patent country and number, or the conference name, location and pages. The citation engine runs from a style library bundled with the page, so it keeps working offline and your sources are never uploaded.
