Frequently Asked Questions

How do I reference a YouTube video in IEEE style?

Include creator name with initials, video title in quotation marks, website name in italics, date, URL, and access date. Example: [1] J. Smith, "Video title," YouTube. Jun. 15, 2024. [Online Video]. Available: https://youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxx. [Accessed: Jan. 20, 2025].

How do I reference a conference recording in IEEE?

Treat it similarly to a conference paper but add "[Video]" or "[Online Video]" to indicate the format. Include the conference name, location, and the URL where the recording is available.

Should I use the channel name or real name for IEEE YouTube references?

Use the creator's real name with initials if known. If only a channel name is available, use that. IEEE uses initials before surnames (e.g., J. D. Smith, not Smith, J.D.).

How do I reference an online lecture in IEEE?

Include the lecturer, lecture title in quotation marks, course or platform name in italics, date, and URL. Add "[Online Video]" to indicate the format. Example: [1] M. Johnson, "Research methodology," Coursera. [Online Video]. Available: https://coursera.org/lecture/example.

Do I need to include the video duration in IEEE?

Video duration is not required in IEEE style. Focus on providing the creator, title, platform, date, URL, and access date for online videos.
