Questions
Why does every IEEE citation show [1]?
IEEE numbers sources in the order you first cite them. A single citation is always [1]; renumber them in your reference list, or let a reference manager do it.
Where does the citation data come from?
From Crossref, the registry publishers use for DOIs, and from OpenAlex for books and papers Crossref does not list. We format what the record says and never fill a gap with a guess.
Why does a name or place in my title look lowercase?
Styles that use sentence case lowercase every word after the first. We keep acronyms, but we cannot tell a proper noun from an ordinary word, so check names of people, places and organisations before you submit.
Is it free?
Yes. The generator, the DOI converter and the reference checker need no account. A free account adds a library you can export from.
