How to build citations
How to cite and write a correct bibliography
IEEE style
This is the style of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and it's the most used in Engineering. You can find the official guide here.
In this style as well, footnotes or author-date references are not used; instead, only sequential numbers are provided, referring to the documents cited in the final bibliography.
