5 IEEEtran.bst is the official BibTeX style for authors of the Institute of
6 Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Transactions journals and
9 It also may have applications for other academic work such as theses and
10 technical reports. The alphanumeric and natbib variants extend the
11 applicability of the IEEEtran bibstyle family to the natural sciences
14 The IEEEtran bibstyle is a very comprehensive BibTeX style which provides
15 many features beyond the standard BibTeX styles, including full support
16 for references of online documents, patents, periodicals and standards.
17 See the provided user manual for detailed usage information.
19 The latest version of the IEEEtran BibTeX style can be found at CTAN:
21 http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/IEEEtran/bibtex/
23 as well as within IEEE's site:
27 Note that the packages at IEEE's site do not contain the natbib and
28 alphanumeric variants (e.g., IEEEtranN.bst, etc.) as these are not used
29 for IEEE related work. These files can be obtained on CTAN.
