Frequently Asked Questions

How do I cite a website in IEEE format?

IEEE website citations usually include the author or organization, page title, website name, full URL, and an access date. CiteMe formats that structure automatically for online engineering and technical sources.

Do I need an access date for IEEE website citations?

Yes. IEEE website references typically include an access date because online technical material can change over time. Use abbreviated months such as Jan., Feb., and Mar.

Can I cite technical documentation and vendor websites in IEEE format?

Yes. This page works well for API docs, product documentation, standards bodies, university lab sites, vendor documentation, and engineering knowledge bases.

How do I cite a website with no individual author in IEEE?

Use the organization as the author when it is clearly responsible for the page. If no author is shown, start with the page title, then list the website name, URL, and access date.
