General rules

In accordance with the requirements of IEEE Style, a bibliographic reference to a book includes the following elements: name(s) of the author(s), title of the book, place of publication, publisher, and year of publication. Whenever relevant, include also the edition number, volume number, URL, etc.

N.B.:

  • The Manual of IEEE Style notes that the name of the publisher should be given in the abbreviated form.
  • Although the manual requires giving the country in the reference, many universities allow omitting this element, leaving only the city, or require giving the country only for not well-known cities.
  • For the United States, give also the name of the state after the city separated by a comma.

For the rules of citing authors in IEEE Style, see this article.
