Throughout this thesis, mathematical notations conform to ISO 80000-2 standard, e.g.
variable names are printed in italics, the only exception being acronyms like e.g. SNR,
which are printed in regular font. Constants are also set in regular font like j. Functions
are
√
also set in regular font, e.g. in sin (·). Commonly used notations are t, f , j = −1, n and
exp (·), which refer to the time variable, frequency variable, imaginary unit, nth variable,
and exponential function, respectively.

Prior Studies

Put here a narrative and a summary (not a duplicate) of your literature review chapter. In
this section, summarize and highlight the gap(s) found in the literature review in Chapter 2.
Preferably, a table showing the summary would be helpful.
Prior Studies or Literature Review1 (expansion of the Prior Studies) is basically about
competition. Competition.
So the suggested goals in writing the narrative of the Prior Studies in summative and
highlighted forms are, in no particular order:
1. to mention briefly the problem;
2. to show the features of the existing literature in solving the problem
3. to show the weaknesses of the solutions of existing literature
4. to show how your solution is better (can be better (for proposals))
If the suggested table will be placed, please discuss it in light of the above-mentioned items.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Etiam lobortis facilisis sem.
Nullam nec mi et neque pharetra sollicitudin. Praesent imperdiet mi nec ante. Donec

The main difference between the Prior Studies and Literature Review is that the Prior Studies is done in
a concise manner. By the way, this is also an example of a footnote usage.

Problem Statement

The problem statement needs to be very clear and to the point.
A persuasive problem statement from a contextualized and intended-audience-awareness
perspective consists of:
1. PS1: description of the ideal scenario for your intended audience
• Describe the goals, desired state, or the values that your audience considers
important and that are relevant to the problem.
2. PS2: reality of the situation
• Describe a condition that prevents the goal, state, or value discussed in PS1
from being achieved or realized at the present time.
• It is imperative to make the audience feel the pain point.
3. PS3: consequences for the audience
• Using specific details, show how the situation contains little promise of improvement unless something is done.

5

1. Introduction

After the above-mentioned items, succinctly describe your solution. Please avoid describing
your entire solution here since you will articulate and elucidate it by showing what you want
to achieve through your objectives, and how you will make it through your methodology.
A well constructed problem statement will convince your audience that the problem is real
and worth having you solve it.

Description and Methodology of the Thesis

A purpose of the description here is to re-steer/remind the panelist/reader again by tersely
describing what your thesis is about (i.e. the problem and the main goal you want to
achieve) in another way without sounding repetitive.
Your methodology is your means of achieving your stated objectives.
Note that each stated objective should have a corresponding methodology of achieving
it.

2.2

Lacking in the Approaches

You can summarize the weaknesses of existing approaches by a tabular comparison of the
literature. Your focus here is what has not been done, i.e. what features were missed, what
solutions were not considered, what the demerits are, etc. Through these items, you then
can introduce the necessity for doing your proposed solution.
It is to be noted that degree of novelty for undergraduate thesis is lower than those for
graduate school. If a PhD dissertation/thesis has a high degree of novelty and that for an
undergraduate is low, then a master’s thesis is somewhere between the two.
Briefly include here the following in order to remind the reader why you are highlighting
the weaknesses of the solutions of existing literature.
• mentioning of the problem
• showing how your solution is better (can be better (for proposals))

4. Design Considerations

Before starting the first section, provide an overview of the purpose of this chapter and
its contents, and how they are relevant to your methodology.
Your primary goal in the Design Considerations chapter is to describe to your panelist/readers the key topics that fall further under Theoretical Considerations, but should
be placed here instead since they are geared towards your Methodology. These key topics
are those that you have directly adopted in making your solution/methodology. You can
think of the connection of the Design Considerations chapter to the Theoretical Considerations chapter in this way: if your Theoretical Considerations chapter serves as the main
foundation of a building, then the Design Considerations chapter functions as the columns.
The Design Considerations chapter is an avenue for explaining why you considered
the topics here for your proposed methodology. This chapter is different from your
methodology, because topics you discuss here are already accepted as part of the body of
knowledge, and may have not been developed by you.

5. Methodology

Put an overview of the contents of chapter. Mention here your methodology flow
through a figure and provide an overview of it and how your methodology achieves your
objectives. How your methodology achieves each of your specific objective is what
your panelists/examiners will be looking for. Specify how your methodology achieves
your general objective, and specific objectives. A point-by-point comparison how your
methodology achieves each of your specific objective is expected in the final Thesis.
Also make sure that you refer clearly to the chapters on the Literature Review, Theoretical Considerations, and Design Considerations showing how your methodology ties with
those that you have discussed in those chapters.
Make an overview of the contents of chapter. Put here your methodology flow through
a figure and provide an overview of it.

5.1

Implementation

Summarize the process used to create/set-up the work with an explanation of such process,
instruments, and materials that you used if any. If the description is lengthy, use condensed
bullet points.
Rule of thumb: Implementation is how you made your work; (keywords: implemented,
created, made, soldered, programmed, etc.).
If you wrote a program or made a simulation, you must state how the program or
simulation functions in this section. An algorithm or a pseudocode as shown in Table E.2
is a good example.

6. Results and Discussions

Show in this chapter proofs why your proposed solution works. However, presenting
results (”It worked”) without an appropriate explanation does not show thorough understanding. Aside from the data and results that you have obtained, and their explanation,
the discussion includes why components of your proposed solution work did or did not
work in accordance to what you described in the evaluation process, and how the proposed
solution performed and faired. Interpret the results and the reasons why they were obtained.
If your results are incorrect, apparent discrepancies from theory should be pointed out and
explained. In essence, what do the results mean. Citing existing publication can help you
compare your results and your explanations.
The next items below is not related to the description of this results and discussions
chapter, but serves as an opener for the LATEXportion of this template.
Here is an example of a citation for ISO 80000-2 standard [ISO, 2009]. Another one
is [Einstein, 1905] and [Croft, 1978].
In using this template, the user is expected to have a working knowledge of LATEX. A

USAGE EXAMPLES

E. Usage Examples

The user is expected to have a working knowledge of LATEX. A good introduction
is in [Oetiker et al., 2014]. Its latest version can be accessed at http://www.ctan.org/
tex-archive/info/lshort.

E1

Equations

The following examples show how to typeset equations in LATEX. This section also shows
examples of the use of \gls{ } commands in conjunction with the items that are in
the notation.tex file. Please make sure that the entries in notation.tex are
those that are referenced in the LATEX document files used by this Thesis. Please
comment out unused notations and be careful with the commas and brackets in
notation.tex .
In (E.1), the output signal y (t) is the result of the convolution of the input signal x (t)
and the impulse response h (t) .
Z

+∞

y (t) = h (t) ∗ x (t) =

h (t − τ ) x (τ ) dτ

The following examples show how to typeset equations in \ LaTeX . This
section also shows examples of the use of \ verb | \ gls { } | commands
in conjunction with the items that are in the \ verb | notation . tex |
file . \ textbf { Please make sure that the entries in } \ verb | notation .

In ~\ eqref { eq : conv } , the output signal \ gls { not : output _ sigt } is the
result of the convolution of the input signal \ gls { not : input _ sigt }
and the impulse response \ gls { not : ir }.
\ begin { eqnarray }

\ label { eq : conv }
\ end { eqnarray }
Other example equations are as follows .
\ begin { eqnarray }
\ left [ \ dfrac { V _{1} }{ I _{1} } \ right ] =
\ begin { bmatrix }
A & B \\
C & D
\ end { bmatrix }

\ label { eq : ABCD }
\ end { eqnarray }
\ begin { eqnarray }

\ end { eqnarray }
\ begin { eqnarray }

E. Usage Examples

E2

Notations

In order to use the standardized notation, the user is highly suggested to see the ISO 80000-2
standard [ISO, 2009].
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying a formula and https://en.wikipedia.
org/wiki/List of mathematical symbols for LATEX maths and other notations, respectively.
The following were taken from isomath-test.tex .

E2.1

Math alphabets

If there are other symbols in place of Greek letters in a math alphabet, it uses T1 or OT1
font encoding instead of OML.
mathnormal
mathit

Do the math alphabets match?
axαωaxαω ax ! T C T CΘΓ T CΘΓ

E2.2

Vector symbols

Alphabetic symbols for vectors are boldface italic, λ = e1 · a, while numeric ones (e.g.
the zero vector) are bold upright, a + 0 = a.

E2.3

Matrix symbols

Symbols for matrices are boldface italic, too:1 Λ = E · A.
1

However, matrix symbols are usually capital letters whereas vectors are small ones. Exceptions are
physical quantities like the force vector F or the electrical field E.

75

E. Usage Examples

E2.4

Tensor symbols

Symbols for tensors are sans-serif bold italic,
=e ·a

⇐⇒

αijl = eijk · akl .

The permittivity tensor describes the coupling of electric field and displacement:
D = 0 r E

Abbreviation

This section shows examples of the use of LATEXcommands in conjunction with the
items that are in the abbreviation.tex and in the glossary.tex files. Please see
List. E.3. To lessen the LATEX parsing time, it is suggested that you use \acr{ } only
for the first occurrence of the word to be abbreviated.
Again please see List. E.3. Here is an example of first use: alternating current (ac).
Next use: ac. Full: alternating current (ac). Here’s an acronym referenced using \acr :
hyper-text markup language (html). And here it is again: html. If you are used to the
glossaries package, note the difference in using \gls : hyper-text markup language
(html). And again (no difference): hyper-text markup language (html). Here are some more
entries:

Glossary

This section shows examples of the use of \gls{ } commands in conjunction with the
items that are in the glossary.tex and notation.tex files. Note that entries in
notation.tex are prefixed with “ not: ” label (see List. E.4).
Please make sure that the entries in notation.tex are those that are referenced
in the LATEX document files used by this Thesis. Please comment out unused notations
and be careful with the commas and brackets in notation.tex .
• Matrices are usually denoted by a bold capital letter, such as A. The matrix’s (i, j)th
element is usually denoted aij . Matrix I is the identity matrix.
• A set, denoted as S , is a collection of objects.
• The universal set, denoted as U , is the set of everything.
• The empty set, denoted as ∅ , contains no elements.
• Functional Analysis is seen as the study of complete normed vector spaces, i.e.,
Banach spaces.
• The cardinality of a set, denoted as |S| , is the number of elements in the set.

Citing

Citing bibliography content is done using BibTeX. It requires the creation of a BibTeX
file (.bib extension name), and then added in the argument of \bibliography{ } . For
each .bib file, separate them by a comma in the argument of \bibliography{ } without
the extension name. Building your BibTeX file (references.bib) can be done easily with a
tool called JabRef (www.jabref.org).
The following subsections are examples of citations.

SOME LIST OF MATH SYMBOLS

F. Some List of Math Symbols

List of mathematical symbols
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of symbols found within all branches of mathematics to express a formula or to represent a constant.
When reading the list, it is important to recognize that a mathematical concept is independent of the symbol chosen to represent it. For many of the symbols below, the symbol is usually
synonymous with the corresponding concept (ultimately an arbitrary choice made as a result of the cumulative history of mathematics), but in some situations a different convention may
be used. For example, depending on context, the triple bar "≡" may represent congruence or a definition. Further, in mathematical logic, numerical equality is sometimes represented by
"≡" instead of "=", with the latter representing equality of well-formed formulas. In short, convention dictates the meaning.
Each symbol is shown both in HTML, whose display depends on the browser's access to an appropriate font installed on the particular device, and typeset as an image using TeX.

Guide
This list is organized by symbol type and is intended to facilitate finding an unfamiliar symbol by its visual appearance. For a related list organized by mathematical topic, see List of
mathematical symbols by subject. That list also includes LaTeX and HTML markup and Unicode code points for each symbol.
Basic symbols: Symbols widely used in mathematics, roughly through first-year calculus. More advanced meanings are included with some symbols listed here.
Symbols based on equality "=": Symbols derived from or similar to the equal sign, including double-headed arrows. Not surprisingly these symbols are often associated with an
equivalence relation.
Symbols that point left or right: Symbols, such as < and >, that appear to point to one side or another.
Brackets: Symbols that are placed on either side of a variable or expression, such as | x |.
Other non-letter symbols: Symbols that do not fall in any of the other categories.
Letter-based symbols: Many mathematical symbols are based on, or closely resemble, a letter in some alphabet. This section includes such symbols, including symbols that
resemble upside-down letters. Many letters have conventional meanings in various branches of mathematics and physics. These are not listed here. The See also section, below, has
several lists of such usages.
Letter modifiers: Symbols that can be placed on or next to any letter to modify the letter's meaning.
Symbols based on Latin letters, including those symbols that resemble or contain an X
Symbols based on Hebrew or Greek letters e.g. ‫א‬, ‫ב‬, δ, Δ, π, Π, σ, Σ, Φ. Note: symbols resembling Λ are grouped with "V" under Latin letters.
Variations: Usage in languages written right-to-left

Similar to the integral, but used to denote a single
integration over a closed curve or loop. It is sometimes
used in physics texts involving equations regarding Gauss's
Law, and while these formulas involve a closed surface
integral, the representations describe only the first
integration of the volume over the enclosing surface.
Instances where the latter requires simultaneous double

third related symbol is the closed volume integral, denoted

contour integral by the symbol ∰ .

MediaWiki renders mathematical equations using a combination of html markup and a variant of LaTeX.
The version of LaTeX used is a subset of AMS-LaTeX markup, a superset of LaTeX markup which is in turn a superset of TeX
markup, for mathematical formulae. Only a limited part of the full TeX language is supported; see below for details.[a]
By default SVG images with non-visible MathML are generated. The older PNG images can be set via user preferences.[b] On
some browsers like Firefox, it is possible to use MathML for display via extensions; see the main extension page at
mw:Extension:Math for details. Client side MathJax is no longer supported.

Basics
Math markup goes inside .... Chemistry markup goes inside ... or
.... All these tags use TeX.
The TeX code has to be put literally: MediaWiki templates, predefined templates, and parameters cannot be used within math
tags: pairs of double braces are ignored and "#" gives an error message. However, math tags work in the then and else part of
#if, etc. See m:Template:Demo of attempt to use parameters within TeX (backlinks edit (https://meta.wikimedia.org
/wiki/Template:Demo_of_attempt_to_use_parameters_within_TeX?action=edit)) for more information.

LaTeX commands
LaTeX commands are case-sensitive, and take one of the following two formats:
They start with a backslash \ and then have a name consisting of letters only. Command names are terminated by a
space, a number or any other "non-letter".
They consist of a backslash \ and exactly one non-letter.
Some commands need an argument, which has to be given between curly braces { } after the command name. Some
commands support optional parameters, which are added after the command name in square brackets []. The general syntax is:
\commandname[option1,option2,...]{argument1}{argument2}...

Special characters
The following symbols are reserved characters that either have a special meaning under LaTeX or are unavailable in all the
fonts. If you enter them directly in your text, they will normally not render, but rather do things you did not intend.
# $ % ^ & _ { } ~ \

These characters can be entered by adding a prefix backslash or using special sequences:
\# \$ \% ^\wedge \& \_ \{ \} \sim \backslash

yielding
.
The backslash character \ can not be entered by adding another backslash in front of it (\\); this sequence is used for line
breaking. For introducing a backslash in math mode, you can use \backslash instead which gives .
The command \tilde produces a tilde which is placed over the next letter. For example, \tilde{a} gives . To produce just a
tilda character ~, use \tilde{} which gives , placing a ~ over an empty box. Alternatively \sim produces , a large centred ~
which may be more appropriate in some situations.
The command \hat produces a hat over the next character, for example \hat{o} produces . For a stretchable version use
giving
. The wedge \wedge is normally used as a mathematical operator
the best equivalent to the ascii caret ^ character.

\widehat{abc}

the sequence ^\wedge produces

Spaces
"Whitespace" characters, such as blank or tab, are treated uniformly as "space" by LaTeX. Several consecutive whitespace
characters are treated as one "space". See below for commands that produces spaces of different size.

LaTeX environments
Environments in LaTeX have a role that is quite similar to commands, but they usually have effect on a wider part of formula.
Their syntax is:
\begin{environmentname}
text to be influenced
\end{environmentname}

Environments supported by Wikipedia include matrix, align, etc. See below.

Rendering
By default, the PNG images are rendered black on white, with a transparent
background. On darker backgrounds, the characters may show white edges. To
remove these, match the PNG background color with the background color of the
page using \pagecolor. However, black text on a dark background is hard to read
and should be avoided altogether where possible.
The colors, as well as font sizes and types, are independent of browser settings or CSS. Font sizes and types will often deviate
from what HTML renders. Vertical alignment with the surrounding text can also be a problem; a work-around is described in
the "Alignment with normal text flow" section below. The css selector of the images is img.tex.

135

G. Dislaying Math Expressions

The alt text of the PNG images, which is displayed to visually impaired and other readers who cannot see the images, and is
also used when the text is selected and copied, defaults to the wikitext that produced the image, excluding the  and
. You can override this by explicitly specifying an alt attribute for the math element. For example, \sqrt{\pi} generates an image
whose alt text is "Square root of pi". This should not
be confused with the title attribute that produces popup text when the hovering over the PNG image, for example \pi generates an image whose popup text is "pi".
Apart from function and operator names, as is customary in mathematics, variables and letters are in italics; digits are not. For
other text, (like variable labels) to avoid being rendered in italics like variables, use \text, \mbox, or \mathrm. You can also
define new function names using \operatorname{...}. For example, \text{abc} gives
. \operatorname{...} provides
spacing before and after the operator name when appropriate, as when a\operatorname{\sn}b is rendered as
(with
space to the left and right of "sn") and a\operatorname{\sn}(b+c) as
(with space to the left and not to the right).
Latex does not have full support for Unicode characters and not all characters render. Most Latin characters with accents
render correctly. However some do not, in particular those that include multiple diacritics (e.g. with Latin letters used in
Vietnamese) or that cannot be precomposed into a single character (such as the uppercase Latin letter W with ring), or that use
other diacritics (like the ogonek or the double grave accent, used in Central European languages like Polish, or the horn
attached above some vowels in Vietnamese), or other modified letter forms (used in IPA notations, or African languages, or in
medieval texts), some digram ligatures (like IJ in Dutch), or Latin letters borrowed from Greek, or small capitals, as well as
superscripts and subscript letters. For example, \text{ð} or \mbox{ð}, and \text{þ} or \mbox{þ} (used in Icelandic) will give
errors.
Force-rerendering of formulas
MediaWiki stores rendered formulas in a cache so that the images of those formulas do not need to be created each time the
page is opened by a user. To force the rerendering of all formulas of a page, you must open it with the getter variables
action=purge&mathpurge=true. Imagine for example there is a wrong rendered formula in the article Integral. To force the
rerendering of this formula you need to open the URL https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Integral&action=purge&
mathpurge=true . Afterwards you need to bypass your browser cache so that the new created images of the formulas are
actually downloaded. See also mw:Extension:Math#Purging pages that contain equations for more details.

TeX vs HTML
Main page: Wikipedia:Rendering math
Before using TeX markup for producing special characters, it should be noted that, as this comparison table shows, sometimes
similar results can be achieved in HTML using Template:Math. See also Help:Special characters.

The project has settled on using both HTML and TeX because each has advantages in some situations.

Pros of HTML
1. Formulas in HTML behave more like regular text. In-line HTML formulae always align properly with the rest of the
HTML text and, to some degree, can be copied-and-pasted (this is not a problem if TeX is rendered using MathJax, and
the alignment should not be a problem for PNG rendering once bug 32694 is fixed).
2. The formula’s background and font size match the rest of HTML contents (this can be fixed on TeX formulas by using
the commands \pagecolor and \definecolor) and the appearance respects CSS and browser settings while the
typeface is conveniently altered to help you identify formulae.
3. Pages using HTML code for formulae will load faster and they will create less clutter on your hard disk.
4. Formulae typeset with HTML code will be accessible to client-side script links (a.k.a. scriptlets).
5. The display of a formula entered using mathematical templates can be conveniently altered by modifying the templates
involved; this modification will affect all relevant formulae without any manual intervention.
6. The HTML code, if entered diligently, will contain all semantic information to transform the equation back to TeX or
any other code as needed. It can even contain differences TeX does not normally catch, e.g. {{math|''i''}} for the
imaginary unit and {{math|i}} for an arbitrary index variable.
7. Unlike generated bitmaps, HTML is not sensitive to dots per inch variances between viewing platforms.

Pros of TeX
1. TeX is semantically more precise than HTML.
1. In TeX, "x" means "mathematical variable " ", whereas in HTML "x" is generic and somewhat ambiguous.
2. On the other hand, if you encode the same formula as "{{math|x}}", you get the same visual result x
and no information is lost. This requires diligence and more typing that could make the formula harder to
understand as you type it. However, since there are far more readers than editors, this effort is worth considering if
no other rendering options are available (such as MathJax, which is available to logged-in users as a preferences
opt-in).
2. One consequence of point 1 is that TeX code can be transformed into HTML, but not vice versa.[1] This means that on
the server side we can always transform a formula, based on its complexity and location within the text, user
preferences, type of browser, etc. Therefore, where possible, all the benefits of HTML can be retained, together with the
benefits of TeX. It is true that the current situation is not ideal, but that is not a good reason to drop information or
contents. It is more a reason to help improve the situation.
3. Another consequence of point 1 is that TeX can be converted to MathML (e.g. by MathJax) for browsers which support
it, thus keeping its semantics and allowing the rendering to be better suited for the reader’s graphic device.
4. TeX is the preferred text formatting language of most professional mathematicians, scientists, and engineers. It is easier
to persuade them to contribute if they can write in TeX.
5. TeX has been specifically designed for typesetting formulae, so input is easier and more natural if you are accustomed to
it, and output is more aesthetically pleasing if you focus on a single formula rather than on the whole containing page.
6. Once a formula is done correctly in TeX, it will render reliably, whereas the success of HTML formulae is somewhat
dependent on browsers or versions of browsers. Another aspect of this dependency is fonts: the serif font used for
rendering formulae is browser-dependent and it may be missing some important glyphs. While the browser is generally
capable to substitute a matching glyph from a different font family, it need not be the case for combined glyphs (compare

137

G. Dislaying Math Expressions

"a̅" and " a̅").
7. When writing in TeX, editors need not worry about whether this or that version of this or that browser supports this or
that HTML entity. The burden of these decisions is put on the software. This does not hold for HTML formulae, which
can easily end up being rendered wrongly or differently from the editor’s intentions on a different browser.[2]
8. TeX formulae, by default, render larger and are usually more readable than HTML formulae and are not dependent on
client-side browser resources, such as fonts, and so the results are more reliably WYSIWYG.
9. While TeX does not assist you in finding HTML codes or Unicode values (which you can obtain by viewing the HTML
source in your browser), copying and pasting from a TeX PNG image in Wikipedia into simple text will return the
LaTeX source.
^ Unless your wikitext follows the style of point 1.2
^ The entity support problem is not limited to mathematical formulae though; it can be easily solved by using the corresponding characters
instead of entities, as the character repertoire links do, except for cases where the corresponding glyphs are visually indiscernible (e.g.
– for ‘–’ and − for ‘−’).

In some cases it may be the best choice to use neither TeX nor the HTML substitutes, but instead the simple ASCII symbols of
a standard keyboard (see hereafter, for an example).

Using MathML
The default MathML/SVG renderer option, selectable through My Preferences - Appearance - Math generate hidden MathML
code. This code can be used by screen readers and other assistive technology. To actually display the MathML in Firefox the
Native MathML (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/native-mathml/) extension and the MathML fonts
(https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/MathML_Project/Fonts) must be installed. Details on using MathML in
other systems can be found at mw:Extension:Math.

Technical implementation

Technically the command \textstyle will be added to the user input before the tex command is passed to the renderer. The result
will be displayed without further formatting by outputting the image or MathMLelement to the page.
Block
In block-style the equation is rendered in its own paragraph and the operators are rendered consuming less horizontal space.
Example

The equation

It was entered as
\text{geometric series:}\quad \sum_{i=0}^\infty 2^{-i}=2 

Technical implementation

Technically it will add the command \displaystyle will be added to the user input, if the user input does not contain the string
\displaystyle or \align before the tex command is passed to the renderer. The result will be displayed in a new paragraph.
Therefore, the style of the MathImage is altered i.e. the style attribute "display:block;margin:auto" is added. For MathML it is
ensured that display=inline is replaced by display block which produces a new paragraph
Not specified
If nothing is specified the current behavior is preserved. That means all equations are rendered in display style but not using a
new paragraph.

Equation numbering
The templates {{NumBlk}} and {{EquationRef}} can be used to number equations. The template {{EquationNote}} can be
used to refer to a numbered equation from surrounding text. For example, the following syntax:
{{NumBlk|:|x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 1|{{EquationRef|1}}}}

produces the following result (note the equation number in the right margin):
(1)
Later on, the text can refer to this equation by its number using syntax like this:

146

G. Dislaying Math Expressions

As seen in equation ({{EquationNote|1}}), blah blah blah...

The result looks like this:
As seen in equation (1), blah blah blah...

Color
Equations can use color with the \color command. For example,
{\color{Blue}x^2}+{\color{Orange}2x}-{\color{LimeGreen}1}
x_{1,2}=\frac{{\color{Blue}-b}\pm\sqrt{\color{Red}b^2-4ac}}{\color{Green}2a }

There are several alternate notations styles
{\color{Blue}x^2}+{\color{Orange}2x}-{\color{LimeGreen}1}

works with both texvc and MathJax

\color{Blue}x^2\color{Black}+\color{Orange}2x\color{Black}-\color{LimeGreen}1

works with both texvc and

MathJax
\color{Blue}{x^2}+\color{Orange}{2x}-\color{LimeGreen}{1}

only works with MathJax

Some color names are predeclared according to the following table, you can use them directly for the rendering of formulas (or
for declaring the intended color of the page background).

149

G. Dislaying Math Expressions

Colors supported

Note that color should not be used as the only way to identify something, because it will become meaningless on blackand-white media or for color-blind people. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (accessibility)#Color.
Latex does not have a command for setting the background color. The most effective of setting a background color is by setting
a CSS styling rules for a table cell

{| class="wikitable" align="center"
| style="background: gray;"
| \pagecolor{Gray}x^2
| style="background: Goldenrod;" | \pagecolor{Goldenrod}y^3
|}

Rendered as

The \pagecolor{Goldenrod} command is necessary for the Texvc renderer to use the correct anti-aliasing around the edges of
the semi-transparent images. Without the command a default (white) background color is used — below are shown the results
displayed on non-white background.

{| class="wikitable" align="center"
| style="background: gray;"
| x^2
| style="background: Goldenrod;" | y^3
|}

Custom colours can be defined using
\definecolor{myorange}{rgb}{1,0.65,0.4}\color{myorange}e^{i \pi}\color{Black} + 1 = 0

vertical-align argument until you get it right; however, how it looks may depend on the browser and the browser settings.
Also note that if you rely on this workaround, if/when the rendering on the server gets fixed in future releases, as a result of

Commutative diagrams
To make a commutative diagram, there are three steps:
1. write the diagram in TeX
2. convert to SVG
3. upload the file to Wikimedia Commons
Diagrams in TeX
Xy-pic (http://www.tug.org/applications/Xy-pic/) (online manual (http://tex.loria.fr
/graph-pack/doc-xypic/xyguide-html/xyguide-html.html)) is the most powerful and
general-purpose diagram package in TeX. Diagrams created using it can be found at
Commons: Category:Xy-pic diagrams.

A sample commutative diagram,
created in the manner described

Simpler packages include:
AMS's amscd (http://www.dante.de/CTAN//help/Catalogue/entries/amscd.html)
Paul Taylor's diagrams (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/generic/diagrams/taylor/)
François Borceux Diagrams (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/borceux.html)
The following is a template for Xy-pic, together with a hack to increase the margins in dvips, so that the diagram is not
truncated by over-eager cropping (suggested in TUGboat: TUGboat, Volume 17 1996, No. 3 (http://www.tug.org/TUGboat
/Articles/tb17-3/tb52rahtz.pdf)):

{\color{white}\framebox{{\color{black}$$ % Frame for margin
\xymatrix{
%%% Diagram goes here %%%
}
$$}}} % end math, end frame
\end{document}

Convert to SVG
Once you have produced your diagram in LaTeX (or TeX), you can convert it to an SVG file using the following sequence of
commands:
pdflatex file.tex
pdfcrop --clip file.pdf tmp.pdf
pdf2svg tmp.pdf file.svg
rm tmp.pdf

The pdfcrop (http://pdfcrop.sourceforge.net) and pdf2svg (http://www.cityinthesky.co.uk/opensource/pdf2svg) utilities are
needed for this procedure. You can alternatively use pdf2svg (http://www.pdftron.com/pdf2svg/) from PDFTron for the last
step.
If you do not have pdfTeX (which is unlikely) you can use the following commands to replace the first step (TeX → PDF):
latex file.tex
dvipdfm file.dvi

In general, you will not be able to get anywhere with diagrams without TeX and Ghostscript, and the inkscape program is a
useful tool for creating or modifying your diagrams by hand. There is also a utility pstoedit which supports direct conversion
from Postscript files to many vector graphics formats, but it requires a non-free plugin to convert to SVG, and regardless of the
format, this editor has not been successful in using it to convert diagrams with diagonal arrows from TeX-created files.
These programs are:
a working TeX distribution, such as TeX Live
Ghostscript
pstoedit
Inkscape
Upload the file
See also: commons:Commons:First steps/Upload form
See also: Help:Contents/Images and media
As the diagram is your own work, upload it to Wikimedia Commons, so that all projects (notably, all languages) can use it
without having to copy it to their language's Wiki. (If you've previously uploaded a file to somewhere other than Commons, to
Commons.)
Check size
Before uploading, check that the default size of the image is neither too large nor too small by opening in an SVG
application and viewing at default size (100% scaling), otherwise adjust the -y option to dvips.
Name
Make sure the file has a meaningful name.
Upload
Login to Wikimedia Commons, then upload the file (http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&

Source code
Include the source code in the image page, in the Source section of the {{Information}} template, so that the diagram

Include the complete .tex file, not just the fragment, so future editors do not need to reconstruct a compilable file.
You may optionally make the source code section collapsible, using the {{cot}}/{{cob}} templates.
(Don't include it in the Summary section, which is just supposed to be a summary.)
License
The most common license for commutative diagrams is PD-self; some use PD-ineligible, especially for simple
diagrams, or other licenses. Please do not use the GFDL (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html), as it requires the entire
text of the GFDL to be attached to any document that uses the diagram.
Description
If possible, link to a Wikipedia page relevant to the diagram. (The 1= is necessary if you use nest templates within the
description, and harmless otherwise.)
Category
Include [[Category:Commutative diagrams]], so that it appears in commons:Category:Commutative diagrams. There
are also subcategories, which you may choose to use.
Include image
Now include the image on the original page via [[File:Diagram.svg]]

Unimplemented elements and workarounds
\oiint

and \oiiint

Elements which are not yet implemented are \oiint, namely a two-fold integral \iint (

) with a circular curve through the

centre of the two integrals, and similarly \oiiint, a circular curve through three integrals. In contrast, \oint ( ) exists for the
single dimension (integration over a curved line within a plane or any space with higher dimension).
These elements appear in many contexts: \oiint denotes a surface integral over the closed 2d boundary of a 3d region (which
occurs in much of 3d vector calculus and physical applications – like Maxwell's equations), likewise \oiiint denotes
integration over the closed 3d boundary (surface volume) of a 4d region, and they would be strong candidates for the next TeX
version. As such there are a lot of workarounds in the present version.
\oiint
\oiint

and \oiiint using currently implemented symbols
looks like:
, which uses \iint along with \subset and \supset (overdrawn after

backspacing):
\iint\limits_{S}\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\subset\!\supset \mathbf D \cdot
\mathrm{d}\mathbf A

, which uses \int twice (with some backward kerning) along with \bigcirc
(also overdrawn after backpacing) to produce a more consistent circle:
\int\!\!\!\!\int_{\partial V}\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\;\;\;
\bigcirc\,\,\mathbf D\cdot\mathrm{d}\mathbf A
\oiiint

(should also be preferably more tightly kerned) looks more or less like:

153

G. Dislaying Math Expressions

which uses three \int symbols (with more backward kerning) with \subset
and \supset (overdrawn after backspacing):
\int\!\!\!\!\!\int\!\!\!\!\!\int_{\partial V}\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!
\!\!\!\!\!\;\;\;\subset\!\supset \mathbf D\;\cdot\mathrm{d}\mathbf A

, which uses three \int symbols (with more backward kerning) along with
\bigcirc

(also overdrawn after backspacing):

\int\!\!\!\!\!\int\!\!\!\!\!\int_{\partial V}\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!
\!\!\!\;\;\;\bigcirc\,\,\mathbf D\;\cdot\mathrm{d}\mathbf A

However, since no standardisation exists as yet, any workaround like this (which uses many \! symbols for backspacing)
should be avoided, if possible. See below for a possibility using PNG image enforcement.
Note that \iint (the double integral) and \iiint (the triple integral) are still not kerned as they should preferably be, and are
currently rendered as if they were successive \int symbols ; this is not a major problem for reading the formulas, even if the
integral symbols before the last one do not have bounds, so it's best to avoid backspacing "hacks" as they may be inconsistent
with a possible future better implementation of integrals symbols (with more precisely computed kerning positions).
\oiint

and \oiiint as PNG images

These symbols are available as PNG images which are also integrated into two templates, {{oiint}} and {{oiiint}}, which take
care of the formatting around the symbols.
The templates have three parameters:
preintegral
the text or formula immediately before the integral
intsubscpt
the subscript below the integral
integrand
the text or formula immediately after the integral
Examples

Stokes' theorem: {{oiint | intsubscpt = {\scriptstyle S} | integrand=( \nabla
\times \bold{F} ) \cdot {\rm d}\bold{S} = \oint_{\partial S} \bold{F} \cdot {\rm
d}\boldsymbol{\ell}  }}

Ampère's law + correction: {{oiint | preintegral=\oint_C \bold{B} \cdot {\rm d} \boldsymbol{\ell}
= \mu_0  | intsubscpt = {\scriptstyle S} | integrand = \left ( \bold{J} +
\epsilon_0\frac{\partial \bold{E}}{\partial t} \right ) \cdot {\rm d}\bold{S} }}

Continuity of 4-momentum flux (in general relativity):[1]{{oiiint | preintegral=\bold{P} =  |
intsubscpt = {\scriptstyle \partial \Omega} | integrand = \bold{T} \cdot {\rm
d}^3\boldsymbol{\Sigma} = 0 }}

Oriented \oiint and \oiiint as PNG images

Some variants of \oiint and \oiiint have arrows on them to indicate the sense of integration, such as a line integral around a
closed curve in the clockwise sense, and higher dimensional analogues. These are not implemented in TeX on Wikipedia
either, although the template {{intorient}} is available - see link for details.
\overarc
\overarc

is not yet implemented to display the arc notation. However, there exists a workaround: use \overset{\frown}{AB},

which gives

154

G. Dislaying Math Expressions

\dddot

is not implemented in the TexVC renderer but does work in MathJax. For a workaround use \overset{...}{x}, which
gives .
\dddot

Syntax to avoid
The texvc processor accepts some non-standard syntax. These should be avoided as the MathJax based renderers do not
support these syntax.
Percentages
Texvc accepts % for representing percentages. This causes an error with MathJax and should be replaced with \% in all
renderers.
\textrm
In texvc spaces need to be represented inside the \textrm environment using \, \ and normal spaces are ignored i.e.
\textrm{A\,B C} would render as A BC. In mathjax \textrm is an alias for \text which is renders its argument as normal text,
hence \textrm{A\,B C} renders as A\,B C. To ensure compatibility between versions alway use the \text environment:
\text{A B C}.
Unicode characters
Non-ASCII Unicode characters like π work in MathML, and MathJax but not in texvc so should be avoided.

Chemistry
There are three ways to render chemical sum formulae as used in chemical equations:
...
...

{{chem}}
X

is short for \ce{X}

(where X is a chemical sum formula)
Technically, ... is a math tag with the extension mhchem enabled, according to the MathJax
documentation (http://mathjax.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tex.html#mhchem).
Note, that the commands \cee and \cf are disabled, because they are marked as deprecated in the mhchem LaTeX package
documentation (http://www.ctan.org/pkg/mhchem).
Please note that there are still major issues (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T140217) with mhchem support in MediaWiki.

G. Dislaying Math Expressions

a. Although, in all cases mentioned, TeX is generated by compilation, and not by an interpreter program, there is one essential difference
between, e.g., Knuth's TeX or Lamport's LaTeX and the present implementation: whereas in the first two cases the compiler typically
generates an all-in-one printable output, which has the quality of a whole book with all chapters, sections and subsections, and where
no line is "special", in the present case one has, typically, a mixture of TeX images (more precisely: PNG images) for the equations,
embedded into usual text, and with short TeX elements usually replaced by HTML parts. As a consequence, in many cases
TeX-elements, e.g. vector symbols, "stick out" below (or above) the text line. This "sticking out" is not the case in the abovementioned original products, and the HTML-substitutes for small TeX additions to the text are often insufficient in quality for many
readers. In spite of these shortcomings, the present product characterized by "many embedded PNG-images" should be preferred for
small texts, where the equations do not dominate.
b. This can cause difficulty with setting the baseline as vertical alignment with the surrounding text can also be a problem (see bug
32694)

I. INTRODUCTION
A. Purpose of Manual
This style manual provides general editing guidelines for IEEE Transactions, Journals, and Letters. For guidance
in grammar and usage notincluded in this manual, please consult The Chicago Manual of Style, published by the
University of Chicago Press.
B. IEEE Transactions Editing Philosophy
The IEEE’s responsibility in editing papers for the Transactions is not to make any determination on or do any
editing of the technical content of the papers we work with, but is instead to render the work as readable,
grammatically correct, and as consistent with IEEE style as possible.
Since we are concerned with the IEEE house style, the author’s style of writing is not changed. A mechanical
edit to correct or question grammatical errors is done, obvious inconsistencies or omissions, spelling, and
punctuation are fixed. Since we work with highly technical text, extensive formatting of mathematical material is
also done.
Some manuscripts require closer editing than others. Some papers, for example, are from authors unfamiliar with
the English language. Authors with questions or requiring assistance with the English language may visit
http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/authors/authors_journals.html. Often, an IEEE Staff Editor
must determine how to correct a grammatical error or in decide what can be safely changed or corrected without
altering the author’s original meaning. Because of the highly technical nature of the material we deal with, and
because of our often limited understanding of that material, it is especially important that Staff Editors do not risk
making any unnecessary changes or any that may affect the author’s meaning.
Sometimes there are cases where it is simply not possible to decipher an author’s meaning or to find a way to
correct a sentence. In these cases, a judgment is made either to query the author on the proof about the passage in
question, to directly contact the author, or in rare cases, to work with the Transactions Editor or Guest Editor to
clarify the material.
C. Different Models of Editing
There are several different models of editing.
•

Fully edited articles: These papers are edited and follow the IEEE Transactions/Journal style.

•

Moderately edited articles: These articles are minimally edited. The abstract, first footnote, figure captions, and
biographies are edited to style. The references are checked for accuracy and completion.
Excludes:
– Editing text for grammar, punctuation, spelling or style
Includes Editing of:
– Abstracts
– Bios
– Callouts & art captions
Ensures accuracy of:
– Article metadata
– Automated spell check
– Reference validation
Also includes:
– Author proofs & alterations

D. Preprinting (Pre-edit Rapid Posting)
Preprinting is a term used to define the process of posting an author-submitted PDF of his/her manuscript online on
the IEEEXplore site. This is done within a day or two of receipt at the IEEE. The author is required to include a
signed copyright form with their submission package. If the form is not provided, the paper cannot be preprinted. On
Xplore, it appears under “Early Access.” This version of the paper has been accepted for publication by IEEE, but

169

H. IEEE Editorial Style Manual

4

IEEE EDITORIAL STYLE MANUAL

has not yet been edited and may not have been assigned to a print issue. A paper that has been preprinted is
considered published.
E. Rapid Posting (Post-edit Rapid Posting)
Rapid Posting is a term used to define the process of posting the author-approved edited version online. This is done
within 3 weeks of receipt at the IEEE for a fully edited article, and within 2 weeks of receipt for a moderately edited
article (see section I-C for explanation). The running head will contain only the publication title. The page numbers
would contain generic numbers (e.g., 1 – 10). On IEEEXplore, the article appears under “Early Access” till it is
assigned to an issue. Once the article is assigned to a print issue, the article is paginated, and the running head is
“opened up” and will contain the volume, issue, month , and year.
F. Continuous Pagination
In a continuously paginated journal, each individual article goes through the entire workflow process, is assigned an
issue, real-time page numbers, and finally posted to Xplore at the issue level. These articles may already be either
pre-printed or rapid posted, not both. Note: Once the paginated article is on Xplore, no changes to the content or
page layout may occur.
The running head should not indicate a month till the very end of the process. (Note to staff: The  tags
for “first publication and current version…” are suppressed till author review, and unsupressed prior to final posting
to Xplore.)
•

Print Collections — In addition, several journals have Print Collections. A print collection is a literal
collection of online issues collected into one print edition. For this reason, additional concerns must be
taken into considering when paginating. Each online issue will contain an Index of Contents listing of the
papers in the issue. Due to postal requirements, in a print collection, a blank page MUST precede the Index
of Contents in subsequent issues. The first article must begin on a verso page. Therefore, if the last page of
one print collection ends on an even number (left-hand side), TWO blank pages must be left in order to
start the next issue on the right-hand side.

•

In Print Collections, the front cover will contain information reflecting the pages on which the Index of
Contents will appear in each issue. Staff may refer to the “Table of Contents (ToC)” section for more
information.

•

Some publications may also choose to include a graphic on the front cover. Staff may refer to the ToC
section for more detail.

G. Article Numbering
Article numbers are applied under the continuous pagination model. The articles are assigned article numbers and
are final prior to being posted to Xplore in the appropriate issue in which they are to appear . In the 7-digit article
number, the first two digits within the subject category, the following three digits are the sequence number (for the
year), and the last two are the page count. Example: 5701712
H. Public Access
If the government agency that funded this paper requires that the paper be deposited in an institutional repository in
order to be made publicly available (there is not a consistent policy among government agencies), the author should
comply with the requirement and submit the paper. We will send the author the paper as accepted for publication, in
PDF format through the Author Gateway, once the paper has been finalized. This is the version the author should
submit to the institutional repository. IEEE requires that the paper not be deposited before 12 months from the date
of publication of the paper, unless the agency policy is different.
I. Open Access
Open access (OA) means unrestricted online access to peer-reviewed scholarly research. There are two ways to
make an article openly available: 1) through author self-archiving in an OA repository, also known as 'green' OA, or
2) through publishing in an open access journal, known as 'gold' OA.

170

H. IEEE Editorial Style Manual

IEEE EDITORIAL STYLE MANUAL

5

With green OA, authors publish in any journal and then self-archive a version of the article for gratis public use on
the author’s personal web site, on a server operated by the author’s employer, or on a server operated by an
approved not-for-profit third party. IEEE allows its authors to follow mandates of agencies that fund the author’s
research by posting accepted versions of their articles in the agencies’ publicly accessible repositories.
With gold OA, authors publish in Open Access journals, which provide immediate, free access to all of their
articles, usually on the publisher's website. ("Hybrid" gold OA journals are subscription journals that provide gold
open access only for those individual articles for which their authors (or their author's institution or funder) pay an
article processing charge.
J. Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY)
Some funding agencies require that authors use specific publication licenses in place of a traditional copyright
transfer if a portion of their grants are to be used to pay article processing charges (APCs). Two such funding
agencies are the Wellcome Trust and the Research Councils of the United Kingdom (RCUK), both of which require
authors to use the CC BY license. In addition, some authors whose work has not been supported by such funding
agencies also want to use the CC BY license. In either case, these authors should explicitly declare their interest in
having their papers published under a CC BY license to IEEE staff editors upon submitting their manuscripts.
Interested authors may also e-mail a request to copyrights@ieee.org. The e-mail should declare the author(s) interest
in submitting their manuscripts under a CC BY license and should also provide basic information about the
manuscript (e.g., author names, article title and IEEE publication title to which the manuscript is being submitted).
Authors who need to satisfy their funding agency’s specific requirement(s) should also identify the specific agency.
The IEEE IPR Office will respond with an acceptance letter indicating that the use of the CC BY license has been
approved.

A. Editing the Parts of a Paper
Paper Title
In the paper title, capitalize the first letter of the first and last word and all nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs,
adverbs, and subordinating conjunctions (If, Because, That, Which). Capitalize abbreviations that are otherwise
lower case (i.e., use DC, not dc or Dc) except for unit abbreviations and acronyms. Articles (a, an, the), coordinating
conjunctions (and, but, for, or, nor), and most short prepositions are lower case unless they are the first or last word.
Prepositions of more than three letters (Before, Through, With, Versus, Among, Under, Between, Without.) should be
capitalized. Example:
•

Byline and Membership Citation
Check authors’ names against biographies and editorial correspondence (compare to IEEE Membership
Directory listing if necessary). Use the longest and most complete name given in either the biography or byline. Use
the same information in both places. Always defer to the author’s wishes if changes are made in the proof stage.
Nicknames are not allowed in the byline, but may be included in the biography. Examples:
C.-Y. Chen, Member, IEEE, K. S. Snyder, Jr., Fellow, IEEE,
and J. Fortunato, III, Senior Member, IEEE
Mohammed Z. Ali, Member, IEEE, and Murat Torlak, Fellow, IEEE
Check the manuscript byline and biographies to see if IEEE membership information has been provided by the
author. If so, verify the information in the IEEE Membership Directory and enter it into the byline and into the
biography.
IEEE Membership Grades
Student Member, Graduate Student Member, Associate Member, Member, Senior Member, Fellow, Life
Associate Member, Life Member, Life Senior Member, and Life Fellow. The highest grades other than Affiliate
Members are listed in the byline. All grades are listed in the biography. Life Members carry the highest previous
grade in their byline.
NOTE: Affiliate Members are not considered members for the purposes of the byline and biography. An
affiliate of an IEEE Society is not an IEEE member, but rather an individual who has been admitted by a

172

H. IEEE Editorial Style Manual

IEEE EDITORIAL STYLE MANUAL

7

Society with the special rights and privileges of that particular organization within the IEEE. In general, an
affiliate must have attained stature in a related scientific and technical field, comparable to that for IEEE
membership.
Invited Paper
If the EIC notes that a paper is an Invited Paper either directly on the hard copy, on the table of contents, or
elsewhere, use an Invited Paper line between the byline and the text of the paper. Insert a 12-pt. space between the
byline and the words “(Invited Paper).” Also be sure to include the Invited Paper line directly after the title on the
table of contents. Example in a byline:

Running Heads
Transactions contain two types of running heads: issue and author. Running heads appear in 7-pt. capitals.
Issue Running Heads appear on all left-hand (verso) pages of full length papers, on all first pages of full length
papers, and on both left and right pages of all other types of papers. Issue running heads consist of the full name of
the Transactions, volume number, issue number, month, and year. Note that the volume number of a Transactions
increases by one at the start of every calendar year. The format used is as follows:
IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON IMAGE PROCESSING, VOL. 23, NO. 3, MARCH 2014

Author Running Heads appear on all right-hand (recto) pages of full length papers (except the first page of
papers). The author running heads are written by Staff Editors and should appear on the author’s proof. Guidelines
for writing author running heads are as follows.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Use only the most important words; it should be the gist of the title.
For a very long title, try to find the critical phrase or phrases.
Frequently, it is possible to eliminate adjectives completely.
If units of measure, chemical compounds, mathematical terms, etc., must be included in the running head,
stet the use of lower case as determined by IEEE style.
Use 7-pt. caps for all author names, e.g., SMITH, DIBENEDETTO, MCLEAN
Do not include Jr., Sr., III, etc., in running heads.
Do not exceed one line.

The format used for author running heads is as follows:
For one author:
SPINA: MODELING OF HIGHLY EFFICIENT GRATING FEEDBACK

For two authors:
BONIFAS AND RICCARDELLA: DYNAMICS OF AlGaAs SEMICONDUCTOR LASERS
MACGREGOR AND GROVER: ROUTING OF TRANSPORT NETWORK DEMANDS

1
I
m

Note: Parts, e.g., part I, is written only as “I” in the running head, preceded by an emdash. The subtitle is not
included.
For three or more authors: ANDERSEN et al.: DYNAMICAL MODEL OF DC WAVEGUIDE LASERS

IEEE EDITORIAL STYLE MANUAL

Authors of non-OA articles must sign and return the IEEE Copyright Form before their paper is published (either
online or in print). A paper is considered published on the date it appears on IEEEXplore (this includes pre-prints,
rapid posts). The section of the form signed determines the type of copyright line used.
There are several different types of copyright lines used in Transactions papers.
The IEEE copyright line is by far the most commonly used line. The IEEE copyright line Copyright Clearance
Center Code (or CCC code) is used at all times whenever the “A” section of the IEEE copyright form has been
signed by the author. The author’s signature on the “A” section of the IEEE copyright form and use of the IEEE
copyright line indicate IEEE ownership of the paper’s copyright.
The following is a sample IEEE copyright line from the IEEE JOURNAL OF QUANTUM ELECTRONICS:
0018-9197 © 2014 IEEE. Personal use is permitted, but republication/redistribution requires IEEE permission.
See http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/rights/index.html for more information.

The first two sets of four numbers (separated by an hyphen) in the line are the ISSN code for the Transactions
(also found on the front cover of the printed book). (Note: the price information was omitted in 2013. This appeared
before the copyright symbol representing the amount the IEEE charges per copy when permission is granted to use
IEEE copyrighted material.) Last on the line is a circled copyright symbol followed by the full year of publication
and the identifier “IEEE.”
Other types of lines may be used when certain conditions are met.
The U.S. Government copyright line is used when the “B” section of the copyright form is signed and all the
authors of a paper are U.S. government employees and prepared the paper as part of their job. The U.S. Government
line reads:
U.S. Government work not protected by U.S. copyright.

NOTE: This copyright line ends with a period.
The EU copyright line is used when all authors are employed by one or more European Union organizations.
The following is a sample EU copyright line from the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON APPLIED SUPERCONDUCTIVITY:
1051-8223 © 2014 EU

The Crown Copyright line is used when the “C” section of the copyright form is signed and all the authors of a
paper are employees of the British or British Commonwealth governments. The Crown Copyright line is similar to
the IEEE copyright line, except that the “IEEE” at the end of the line is replaced with “British Crown Copyright” or
“Canadian Crown Copyright” as follows:
The following sample copyright lines are from the IEEE JOURNAL OF DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY:
1551-319X © 2014 British Crown Copyright
1551-319X © 2013 Canadian Crown Copyright

Rapid posted/pre-printed papers: If you are posting papers in 2013 for a print issue in 2014, please note the
year in the copyright line MUST be the year of online publication. Also, note the copyright line (year) information
will NOT change when the article is printed in 2014.
Note this applies to all models of publication, rapid post, preprint, and continuous (e.g., JSEN, JQE, LPT).
That is, rapid-posted , preprinted, or continuously paginated articles that posted to IEEEXplore in 2013,
but will be printed in 2014, should carry a copyright year of 2013.

Open Access
http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/rights/oapa.pdf
Q: Do authors need to sign an IEEE copyright transfer form for an OA article?
Not in every case. The standard document for an author to authorize publication of an article supported by an article
processing charge (APC) is the IEEE Open Access Publishing Agreement (OAPA). This form transfers copyright to
IEEE, while assuring that IEEE will make the article freely available to all visitors to IEEE Xplore. The OAPA gives
IEEE full authority to resolve any complaints of abuse (such as plagiarism) of the authors' content.
IEEE will make exceptions for authors who have special requirements from their funding agencies to publish their
OA articles with a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license. Two such funding agencies are the Wellcome
Trust and the Research Councils of the United Kingdom (RCUK), both of which require authors to use the CC BY
license. IEEE will accept use of the CC BY license in these cases. Authors with a funding requirement to use the CC
BY license should not sign the OACF, but instead should request a CC BY license.
Q: What if the authors choose both OAPA and are also US Government employees? Which copyright form do they
sign?
ANS: Section (2) of the OAPA copyright form.
How do an author obtain the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license?
Authors who choose to submit their manuscripts under a CC BY license, or whose research has been supported by
any funding agency and are required to submit their manuscripts under a CC BY license, will need to provide a letter
or e-mail to the editorial staff or the IEEE Intellectual Property Rights Office, in which they must clearly state their
interest in submitting their manuscript under a CC BY license. The letter must also provide basic information about
the manuscript (e.g., author names, article title, and IEEE publication title to which the manuscript is being
submitted). Authors will receive an acceptance letter indicating that the CC BY license has been approved.
Authors who submit a manuscript and opt for a CC BY license are required to accept the Terms & Conditions of
IEEE in order for their paper to be published and posted in IEEE Xplore. Authors who choose to submit under a CC
BY license will be subject to the publishing policies and procedures of IEEE.

The IEEE Open Access Publishing Agreement (OAPA)
With the OA publication model comes a new IEEE Open Access Publishing Agreement, which is available for
immediate use. The agreement serves four important purposes:
1.
2.
3.
4.

An explicit promise is made to OA authors that IEEE will present their work with free access to all users.
OA authors are assured that they are free to post the final, published version of their articles on their personal
Web sites, their employers' sites, or their funding agency's sites.
The OAPA gives IEEE sufficient legal rights to resolve any complaints of abuse (such as infringement and
plagiarism) of the authors’ content.
The OAPA allows users to copy the work, as well as to translate it or to reuse it for text/data mining, as long as
the usage is for non-commercial purposes.

IEEE authors who want to submit their manuscripts under an OA license are encouraged to use the IEEE OAPA.
Open Access copyright lines
OAPA:
1949-3029 © 2013 IEEE. Translations and content mining are permitted for academic research only. Personal use is
also permitted, but republication/redistribution requires IEEE permission. See
http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/rights/index.html for more information.

•
•

In a book review, to avoid confusion with the author of a book, when listing the affiliation of the reviewer of
a book, do not use “The author is with …”; instead, list the reviewer’s affiliation (“The reviewer is with …”).
Except in rare cases (e.g., IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING to indicate the corresponding
author), asterisks or daggers are not acceptable means of referencing a footnote in IEEE Transactions.

•

The third or final paragraph of the first footnote contains the Digital Object Identifier (DOI). (The DOI system m
was conceived by the Association of American Publishers (AAP) in partnership with the Corporation for National
Research Initiatives and is now administered by the International DOI Foundation. Essentially, the DOI system is a
scheme for Web page redirection by a central manager.) In January 2004, the IEEE adopted the use of the Digital
Object Identifier system to provide unique identification of documents and facilitate on-line publication. The
purpose of the DOI is to describe the structure and assignment of an identification code for publication items
(articles) within publication types (journals and books).
The DOI consists of the following:
•
•
•

10.1109 identifies IEEE Publication;
the calendar year of the date of assignment;
a number unique to the publication item within the publication type.

An example of the DOI as it appears in the first footnote is as follows:
Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/JQE.2004.834561

The DOI is the last line of the author affiliation paragraph.
NOTE: It is very important that this number appear correctly in print. It will be a permanent means of
identifying the document. If the printed DOI number does not match the database assigned DOI number, errors
will result when linking the electronic version of the document.
C. Editing the Body of the Paper
Abstract
Every published paper must contain an Abstract; request one immediately from the EIC and/or author if it is not
provided with the manuscript. Abstracts appear in text in 8-point boldface type per Transactions specs. All variables
should appear lightface italic; numbers and units will remain bold. Abstracts should be a single paragraph. By
nature, Abstracts shall not contain numbered mathematical equations nor numbered references. Numbered reference
citations are not allowed. If a citation is made, reword the sentence to exclude citation numbers.
In order for an abstract to be effective when displayed in IEEE Xplore® as well as through indexing services
such as Compendex, INSPEC, Medline, ProQuest, and Web of Science, it must be an accurate, stand-alone
reflection of the contents of the article.
The abstract must be a concise yet comprehensive reflection of what is in your article. In particular:
•
•
•
•

The abstract must be self-contained, without abbreviations, footnotes, or references. It should be a
microcosm of the full article.
The abstract must be between 150-250 words. Be sure that you adhere to these limits; otherwise, you will
need to edit your abstract accordingly.
The abstract must be written as one paragraph, and should not contain displayed mathematical equations or
tabular material.
The abstract should include three or four different keywords or phrases, as this will help readers to find it. It
is important to avoid over-repetition of such phrases as this can result in a page being rejected by search
engines.

IEEE EDITORIAL STYLE MANUAL

•

Ensure that your abstract reads well and is grammatically correct.

Index Terms
All papers must contain Index Terms. These are keywords provided by the authors. Request them if they are not
provided. Index Terms appear in bold type in the same style as the Abstract, in alphabetical order, and as a final
paragraph of the Abstract section. Separate Abstract and Index Terms by a 6-pt. space. Capitalize the first word of
the Index Terms list; lower case the rest unless capitalized in text. Include the definition of an acronym followed by
the acronym in parentheses. Example:
Index Terms—Abstraction, computer-aided system engineering (CASE),
conceptual schema, data model, entity type hierarchy, ISO reference model, layered
architecture meta model, reverse engineering.

Note to Practitioners
This is formatted in the same style as Abstracts. It follows the Abstract and is separated by a line space.
There may be more than one paragraph. The text appears in boldface and in 8-point type. Example:
Note to Practitioners—Abstraction, computer-aided system engineering (CASE), conceptual schema, data model,
entity type hierarchy, ISO reference model, layered architectural meta model, reverse engineering.
Note Added in Proof: This added information is usually inserted at the end of the Conclusion section of the paper or in

whatever section contains the last paragraph of the main body of the paper. (See p. 18.)
Nomenclature
Nomenclature lists (lists of symbols and definitions) generally follow the Abstract and Index Terms and precede
the Introduction. This type of list is characterized by the following.
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)

The Nomenclature heading is a primary heading without a Roman numeral.
The first column of the list is flush left.
The second column is aligned on the left.
There is one em space from the longest item on the left side to the right side.
The first letter on the right-hand side is capitalized.
Each item ends with a period.
Do not use “is” or “the” at the beginning of items.
Do not use equality symbols between the left and right sides.

Equations in an item should be handled as follows.
1) When the equation is at the beginning of an item, align the equal sign with the right-hand side capitals, end
the equation with a period, begin the definition with a capital, and end with a period.
2) When the equation is at the end of an item, end the definition with a comma, follow with an equal sign and
the rest of the equation, then end with a period.

NOTE: Acronyms defined in a Nomenclature list do not need to be defined again in the text. If the section
headings are made up of only previously defined acronyms, we should continue to add the acronym in parentheses
next the the definition, as it becomes unreadable otherwise.
Text Section Headings
Standard specifications have been established for Transactions text section headings. There are four levels of
section headings with established specs: primary (section), secondary (subsect1), tertiary (subsect2), and quaternary
(subsect3) heads.

Enumeration of section headings is desirable, but is not required. Follow the author’s preference. However, the
choice must be consistent throughout the paper. That is, if an author enumerates some but not all section headings,
the remaining headings in the paper should be labeled so that all headings and all levels of section headings in the
paper are enumerated.
Author enumeration notation that is not in IEEE style should be changed to IEEE style. For example, if an author
labels primary headings with capital letters, they should be changed to Roman numerals to match IEEE style. The
remaining style rules for each level of section heading as listed below should also be followed.
Primary headings (section) are enumerated by Roman numerals, centered above text, and set in 10-pt. and 8-pt.

Secondary headings (subsect1) are enumerated by capital letters followed by periods (“A.,” “B.,” etc.), flush left,
italic, upper and lower case. Example:
A. Formal Frameworks
Tertiary headings (subsect2) are enumerated by Arabic numerals followed by parentheses. They are indented
one em, run into the text in their sections, italic, upper and lower case, and followed by a colon. Example:
1) Sophisticated Local Control: Sophisticated local control is applied when …
Quaternary headings (subsect3) are identical to tertiary headings, except that they are indented two ems instead
of one em, lower case letters are used as labels, and only the first letter of the heading is capitalized. Example:
a) Communication policies: Policies developed to improve communication …
Reference and Acknowledgment headings are unlike all other section headings in text. They are never
enumerated. They are simply primary headings without labels, regardless of whether the other headings in the
papers are enumerated. Example:
REFERENCES
ACKNOWLEDGMENT (note spelling here)
Appendix headings are a special case. The primary heading(s) in the Appendix or Appendixes (note spelling of
plural) are set according to the usual style, except that there is flexibility in the enumeration of the heading. The
author may use Roman numerals as heading numbers (Appendix I) or letters (Appendix A). Either is acceptable. The
Appendix is not preceded by a Roman numeral. Follow the rules given earlier for labeling subsidiary heads. Note
that if there is only one Appendix in the paper, leave the Appendix unnumbered and unnamed as is. (Appendix
subheads should also not be enumerated in this case.) Examples:
APPENDIX
APPENDIX I
PROOF OF THEOREM
APPENDIX A
PROOF OF THEOREM

Headings for Theorems, Proofs, and Postulates: Some papers do not conform to an outline style for theorems
and proofs that is easily transformed into the normal heading sequence. The preferred style is to set the head giving
the theorem number as a tertiary heading (no Arabic numeral preceding) and the proof head as a quaternary head.
This rule also applies to Lemmas, Hypotheses, Propositions, Definitions, Conditions, etc.
In-text references to text sections are written: “in Section II” or “in Section II-A” or “in Section II-A1.”
Capitalize the word “Section.” Do not use the word “Subsection”; use “Section” and write out the complete citation.

Introduction
Initial Cap or Drop Cap: In full length papers and/or editorials (but not in short papers), the first letter of the
Introduction is set as an initial cap, two lines deep (drop cap). After the cap, the next 8–12 characters (1–2 words)
are capitalized. (Do not break up hyphenated words into cap and lower case sections—extend the caps if necessary.)

181

H. IEEE Editorial Style Manual

IEEE EDITORIAL STYLE MANUAL

If it is not possible to use the first word or character of the Introduction as an initial cap (i.e., if the paper begins with
a quotation mark), try rewriting the sentence and query the author. See Section II-A of this guide for type specs of
the initial cap.
Text Equations
Consecutive Numbering: Equations within a paper are numbered consecutively from the beginning of the paper
to the end. There are some Transactions in which an author’s own numbering system such as numbering by section,
e.g., (1.1), (1.2.1), (A1), is permitted.
Appendix Equations: Continued consecutive numbering of equations is best in the Appendix, but if an author
starts equation numbering over with (A1), (A2), etc., for Appendix equations, it is permissible to leave the copy as
is.
Hyphens and Periods: Hyphens and periods are accepted, if consistent in paper, e.g., (1a), (1.1), (1-1). This
should be done consistently throughout the paper.
Appendix
Refer to the Appendix in text as “given in the Appendix.” Note that the plural of Appendix is Appendixes. Also
note that all figures and tables in the Appendixes must be labeled in consecutive order with the other figures in the
paper. Never start a separate numbering system or group of numbers for the figures or tables in the Appendix
section.
Acknowledgment
The placement of the Acknowledgment appears after the final text of the paper, just before the References and
after any Appendix(es). The spelling of the heading for the Acknowledgment section is always singular, with no “e”
between the “g” and the “m.” As noted previously in the Text Headings section, the Acknowledgment head is a
primary heading. Do not enumerate the Acknowledgment heading.
When citing names within the Acknowledgment, use first initials only, not full names. Drop Mr., Mrs., or Miss
(list first initial and last name only). For Dr. or Prof., use the Dr. or Prof. title with each name separately; do not use
plural Drs. or Profs. with lists of names.
All acknowledgments of financial support must be removed from the Acknowledgment section and placed in the
first footnote/author affiliation.
Any acknowledgments of permission to publish and disclaimers to the content of the work made to/by the
author’s employer may be added as an Acknowledgment section.
Rewrite the Acknowledgment section to be read in the third person. Rewrite it even if the paper is given in the
first person.
References
A few guidelines related to the editing of references are summarized here. See Section V of this manual for a
more complete discussion of reference style.
The numbering of references is employed by citing one reference per number. Every reference in a Transactions
reference list should be a separate number entry. Use of one reference number to designate a group of references is
not preferred, and is discouraged. If the author-supplied reference list is unnumbered, the Staff Editor must provide
numbers, or if the list contains multiple references, these should be separated and renumbered by the Staff Editor. If
numbering or renumbering is necessary, then in-text references to the reference list must be checked and
renumbered by the Staff Editor.
Footnotes or other words and phrases that are part of the reference format do not belong on the reference list.
These full footnotes or extraneous phrases must always be removed from the list, changed into text or footnotes on
the appropriate page, and the references renumbered (renumber reference citation in text as well). Even the words
“For example” should not introduce references in the actual list, but should instead be included in parentheses in text
(or in a footnote), followed by the reference number, i.e., “For example, see [5].”
Do not say “in reference [1] …”; rather, the text should be edited to read simply, “in [1] …” The author’s name
should not be included in a text reference with a number (i.e., “In Smith [1]”) and should be changed to “in [1]”
except in such cases where the author’s name is integral to the understanding of the sentence (e.g., “Smith [1]
reduced calculated time …”). Reference dates should not be used as reference identifiers and should be deleted in
text except in rare cases where the date is somehow relevant to the paper’s subject.
Sometimes an author will refer to a specific figure of a reference or to a specific page or equation from a
reference. To avoid confusion, rewrite phrases such as “in Fig. 2 of reference [1]” to the IEEE cross-reference
notation “in [1, Fig. 2].” Similarly, rewrite phrases such as “in equation (8) of reference [1]” to be [1, eq. (8)]. Other
phrases may be rewritten as [1, Sec. IV], [1, Th. 4.2], or [1, Ch. 3].

182

H. IEEE Editorial Style Manual

IEEE EDITORIAL STYLE MANUAL

17

If an author lists the same reference more than once on the reference list, giving a new reference number for each
page or part of the same source that is cited, these separate references should all be made into one reference and the
separate citations of pages, equations, etc., should be made in text using the notation explained in the previous
paragraph.
If a reference author’s name is mentioned in text, check its spelling against the reference list.
Text Citation of Figures and Tables
All first citations of figures and tables in the paper must be in numerical order. If a figure is not mentioned or if
the first text mentions are not in order, call or query the author and/or renumber the figures where necessary.
Citations to figures in text always carry the abbreviation “Fig.” followed by the figure number. The abbreviation is
used even when it begins a sentence.
Figures: If labeled, parts of figures (callouts) should be 8-pt. lower case Roman letters within parentheses.
Whenever possible, all caption parts shown on the figure must be removed and keyed along with the caption.
The general style for captions is such that each caption number should be cited with the abbreviation “Fig.” and
the number, followed by a period, an em space, and then the text of the caption. The first word of the caption should
always be capitalized, regardless of any style that may be chosen to list caption parts (a), (b), etc., if included. In
general, do not use A, An, or The at the beginning of a figure or table caption. Example:
Fig. 1.

Theoretical measured values of n.

There are several acceptable styles for listing the parts of the figure in the caption. Be consistent within each
paper, but otherwise use whichever style is most convenient for the figure. Regardless of which caption notation is
used, the citation of (a), (b), etc., should always appear before the corresponding caption part. Examples:
Fig. 1. Intercomplex crosstalk characteristics. (a) Electrode transmission.
(b) Interelectrode crosstalk.
Fig. 2.
change.

(a) Variation of effective mode index with time. (b) Step-index

Fig. 3. Output resistance as a function of channel doping for 1-m-long gate.
(a) InGaAs and (b) InP JFETs with pinchoff voltage as a parameter.
Fig. 4. (a) and (b) Plain and side views, respectively, of the experimental
setup used to measure the effective diffraction loss which can be achieved
using the feedback technique.

Do not use:
Fig. 1.

(a) Electrode transmission. (b) Interelectrode crosstalk.

If a figure after reduction will run more than one 21-pica column in width, the caption should be flush left on 43
picas.
If parts of a figure after reduction will run the length of more than one page, the full descriptive part of the
caption should be cited with the first part of the figure followed by the corresponding caption for the part. On the
subsequent pages, the word (Continued.) will be placed under the carryover parts of the figure followed by a repeat
of the full descriptive part of the caption and the corresponding caption for the carryover parts.
Captions for Landscape/broadside figures: The text should appear below the figures and facing outward at all
times. Example:
Fig. 6.
True and estimated spectra for a real data sequence. (a) True
spectrum.
Fig. 6. (Continued..) True and estimated spectra for a real data sequence. (b)
Estimated with the periodogram.

Tables: The general style for table captions is such that each caption number should be centered above the table
with the label TABLE (set in 8-pt. caps) and the enumeration given in Roman numerals. The descriptive text of the
caption should be centered directly below the table number caption and is set in 8-pt. and 6-pt. caps. The captions
are usually centered on 21 picas, unless the table will be wider than one column width, in which case the table
caption should be centered on 43 picas.
The descriptive text of the table caption does not contain a period at the end of the caption, although punctuation
may be necessary within the caption itself. In general, table captions should be set as an inverted pyramid.
As in figures, labeled parts of tables should be 8-pt. lower case Roman letters within parentheses. The style for
listing the parts of a table in the caption and in text depends on whichever style is most convenient for the table. The
most acceptable style is to follow the conventions for callouts of figures. Example:

183

H. IEEE Editorial Style Manual

18

IEEE EDITORIAL STYLE MANUAL

TABLE I

PARAMETER VALUES
TABLE II

OPTIMAL WAVELENGTH AS A FUNCTION OF POLARIZER ANGLE. (a) WAVELENGTH
FOR EXTERNAL CAVITY. (b) ESTIMATED WAVELENGTH FOR LASER DIODE

A single rule should be added above and below the table body. Use the hrule macro to create rules. The type
specs for the text of a table is 8-pt. TR for full length papers, brief papers, and short papers.
The same rules as in figures apply for listing table part labels (callouts).
Table footnotes should be 8-pt. type and should be placed below the bottom rule of the table.
Obtaining permission to reuse copyrighted material
1) Reusing IEEE graphics previously published in IEEE publications. Author should email IEEE
Intellectual property department at: copyrights@ieee.org. In mose cases, the only requirements
will be to give full credit to the original source and to obtain the author’s approval (as a courtesy
to the author). At the end of the caption, add the reference number of the papers from which the
graphics are being used.
2) Reusing graphics previously published in non-IEEE publications. Author must have obtained
permission to republish from copyright holder (in most cases, this is the publishing house (not
the author of the paper). The wording is provided by the author (usually supplied by the
publishing house itself). This text is added at the end of the caption.
Photos and Biographies
IEEE Transactions author biographies are generally divided into three paragraphs. However, if appropriate
information for each paragraph is not provided by the author, the biography may be only one or two paragraphs.
The author’s photograph is sized at 6 picas wide by 7.5 picas deep and is surrounded by the biography.
The biography begins with the author’s full name and IEEE membership history as listed in the IEEE
Membership Directory. The author’s name appears in boldface type and must match the byline. A nickname may
appear within parentheses, e.g., Sung-Mo (Steve) Kang, but not in the byline. The format for listing the IEEE
membership history is to list each grade of membership attained followed by an apostrophe and the year it was
attained, with each year and grade combination separated from the others by an en dash. Note that if an author
attains the same membership grade in more than one year, list only the first year that it was reached. Check the
current membership listed with the biography against the byline.
Abbreviations for IEEE membership grades are: S (Student Member), A (Associate Member), M (Member), SM
(Senior Member), F (Fellow), LA (Life Associate Member), LM (Life Member), LSM (Life Senior Member), and
LF (Life Fellow). Note that A stands for Associate, not Affiliate, Member. Affiliate memberships are not listed
in the byline or biography membership history.
Delete all references to IEEE membership from the text of the biography.
First Paragraph: If provided by the author, the first paragraph may contain a place and/or date of birth (list
place, then date). Next, the author’s educational background is listed. When listing degrees earned, the biography
should state “[S]he received the Ph.D. degree from …” (not “[S]he received [her] his Ph.D. degree from …”).
Always add the word degree after a degree title if it is not included. Include the years degrees were received. If the
author was educated overseas, the names of the degrees earned may not be familiar. Abbreviations for some
common international and domestic degrees are:
Dipl.Ing., Diplom-Physiker, Dr. Ing., Dr. Phil., Dr. Eng., B.S., S.B., B.Sc.(Hons.), B.E.E., B.S.E., M.Eng.,
M.Sc.(tech.), M.S.E.E., M.S.E., Civilingenir, Lic.es Sci., Lic.es Lett.
Add the locations of universities and colleges the first time they are mentioned if not included (refer to the
University website for location). For U.S. state-named universities, repeat the state name in the location, and
included the country (e.g., University of Colorado, Boulder, CO, USA); but for city-named universities, repeat the
name of the city when giving the location (e.g., University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA). For universities outside
the U.S., give locations with the name of the city (postal abbreviations of Canadian Provinces, if used) and the
country the first time.
Use lower case for the author’s major field of study.
Second Paragraph: The second paragraph of the biography should list military and work experience, including
summer and fellowship jobs and consultant positions. Job titles are capitalized. The current job must have a location;
previous positions may be listed without one (retain if given). Do not abbreviate city names, Company, Laboratory,
or Department. Use standard names for all countries. If there is space, information the author provides about

184

H. IEEE Editorial Style Manual

IEEE EDITORIAL STYLE MANUAL

19

previous publications may be included at the end of this paragraph. Edit out long lists of published books or articles.
Instead use the sentence s(he) “is the author of several books and many published articles.” The format for listing
publishers of an author’s books within the biography is: Title of the Book (publisher name, year) similar to a
reference. List author affiliations with non-IEEE journals. The author often notes current and sometimes previous
research interests. If space is available, these may be retained; otherwise, edit out the prior interests and leave in the
current. Any homepage of the author may be listed in the biography only.
Do not repeat the author’s name in the second paragraph; use “he” or “she.”
Third Paragraph: The third paragraph begins with the author’s title and last name (e.g., Dr. Smith, Prof. Jones,
Mr. Kajor, Ms. Hunter). It lists the author’s memberships in professional societies other than the IEEE and his or her
status as a Professional Engineer if given. Finally, list awards and work for IEEE committees and publications,
affiliation with other professional societies, and symposia.
Personal notes such as hobbies should be deleted from the biography. Examples:
Michael C. Author, Jr. (S’87–A’89–SM’90–F’93) was born in New York, NY, USA, on March 2, 1969. He received the B.S. degree in
applied mathematics from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA, in 1989, the M.S. degree in mathematical physics from Stanford
University, Stanford, CA, in 1991, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge,
MA, USA, in 1995.
From 1993 to 1995, he was with the Raytheon Corporation, Bedford, MA, USA. From 1995 to 1996, he was with the General Electric Space
Laboratory, Valley Forge, PA, USA. During 1996–1997, he was a Fulbright Lecturer at the University of Madrid, Madrid, Spain. He is currently
an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park, MD, USA. His research has been concerned with
reentry plasma effects and microwave diagnostics of plasmas.
Dr. Author, Jr. is a Registered Professional Engineer in the State of Pennsylvania.
Katsunari Okamoto was born in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan, on October 19, 1949. He received the B.S. degree from Rutgers University,
New Brunswick, NJ, in 1979 and the M.S. degree from Monmouth University, Long Branch, NJ, USA, in 1984
He was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Tokyo in 1978. He joined the Ibaraki Electrical Communication Laboratory, N.T.T.,
Ibaraki-ken, Japan, in 1979, where he was engaged in research on the optimum waveguide structure of optical fibers. At present, he is a Member
of Technical Staff at Bellcore, Red Bank, NJ, USA.
Dr. Okamoto is a member of the Institute of Electronics and Communication Engineers of Japan.

NOTE: If no photograph is available or the journal does not require them, the biography is set 8/9×21 picas.
Squibs
If no biography or photograph is available, a squib is used. The phrase is run at 8/9 ×21 picas, flush left. Example:
James A. Author, (S’87–A’89–SM’90–F’93) photograph and biography not available at the time of publication.

D. Other Text to Edit
Footnotes
Footnotes should be numbered in consecutive order throughout the text. In full length, brief, and short papers,
they are 8/9 TR ×21. Each footnote should be a new paragraph. The footnote numbers are superscripts in text and in
the actual footnotes. In text, place the superscript footnote numbers after punctuation such as periods, commas, and
parentheses, quotation marks, but generally before dashes, colons, and semicolons in a compound sentence. The
footnotes should be placed at the bottom of the text column in which they are cited.
Lists in Text
There are three types of lists in text: run-in lists, displayed lists, and where lists. The ordering of labeling for all
lists is 1), 2), 3) followed by a), b), c), and then i), ii), iii). All are Roman; note single parenthesis. The order of
indentation is 1 em, 2 ems, 3 ems.
Run-In Lists: Lists that run in with text must be grammatically correct. They must also be introduced by a colon,
separated by semicolons, and have parallel construction. Example:
The carrier–phonon interaction matrices are given by: 1) polar optical phonons; 2) deformation potential
optical phonons; and 3) piezoelectric acoustic phonons.
Displayed Lists: Lists that are displayed may be either incomplete sentence items or full sentence items.
Incomplete sentence items contain a few items, are very short, are grammatically parallel, and are handled in two
ways. If the items are not mentioned in the text or are less than three items, run in as shown in the example for runin lists. If, however, the items are mentioned later in text, introduce the item with a colon, number the items, begin

185

H. IEEE Editorial Style Manual

20

IEEE EDITORIAL STYLE MANUAL

the entry with a lower case letter, and set block paragraph style. Use semicolons between items and a period at the
end of the list. Example:
This operating scenario provides all of the contributors necessary to configure a resonant power distribution
system:
1) the implementation of capacitor power factor correction on the power line;
2) the presence of nonlinear load;
3) the tuning of the power line by the load adjustments to a frequency present in the nonlinear generator.
Incomplete sentence items that are mentioned in text may also be formatted as shown in the example for full
sentence items.
Full sentence items may be introduced by “that” or other words taking object and are rewritten to end with a
period. If the items are introduced by a sentence ending with a colon, change the colon to a period. Number all
items, start each entry with a capital letter, and end with a period. Example:
The synthesis is performed in three major steps.
1) Geometry is generated for the selected module variants.
2) Shape variants using different fold counts for resistors are generated for each module.
3) Routing and postprocessing complete the final layout.
Where Lists: Where lists define variables in the equations preceding the list. They are characterized by
incomplete sentences and follow the same rules as Nomenclature lists, with the following exceptions.
1) There is no primary heading.
2) The left-hand side is indented one em space.
3) The first letter on the right-hand side is lower case.
4) Each item ends with a semicolon (except for the last item, which ends with a period).
5) The lists are at least three items long; if fewer than three items, the list is generally run in paragraph form.
Follow author preference for run-in or displayed lists. Example:
where

= ∆VS cos (ω ′t + φ ′);
amplitude of supply voltage flicker;
angular frequency of supply voltage flicker;
supply voltage amplitude;
supply angular frequency.
ω
Note the alignment of the equal sign with the right-hand side.
∆υ S
∆VS
ω′
VSf

Lists having mixed items (start with an incomplete item, then have a full sentence explanation) are treated as a
full sentence item list.
Note Added in Proof
An author may wish to add a brief note in the proof stage, citing results obtained after acceptance of the paper or
mentioning additional references that have come to the author’s attention since acceptance. This added information
is usually inserted at the end of the Conclusion section of the paper or in whatever section contains the last
paragraph of the main body of the paper. As long as the note is not a major change to the paper or more than a few
lines long, the addition generally does not require further review procedures. Use the tertiary heading “Note Added
in Proof:” (run into text), but set in boldface italic with no enumeration and an em space indent. Example:
Note Added in Proof:

E. Other Types of Papers
Editorials
This category of papers includes the various types of introductory papers, such as Editorials, Guest Editorials,
Forewords, Introductions, and Editorial Announcements that appear at the beginning of issues as non-technical
introductory material. A discussion of the papers in an editorial should follow the order of the table of contents. The
editorial may contain illustrations, citations, and references. Follow general rules for editing. An acknowledgment
does not contain a heading. If a heading is required, set as a separate section and follow the primary heading specs
without enumeration. Note: In the Editorial, the Acknowledgment does not need to be in third person.

186

H. IEEE Editorial Style Manual

IEEE EDITORIAL STYLE MANUAL

21

Procedures and style for Editorials include the following.
General Specs: Type specs are the same as for full length papers. The initial cap remains the same. The title of
the Editorial is set in 24 pt. as in a full length paper title. There is no Abstract. There is a rule above the DOI.
NOTE: Editorials generally do not carry a section heading above the title. Center the word “Editorial” in
24-pt. type above the title.
Byline: Note that the byline for the Editorial does NOT appear below the title as it does in a full length paper.
The name of the author of the Editorial or Foreword (usually the Editor or Guest Editor) (called “signature”) appears
at the end of the Editorial, 6 pts. below the end of text, in 10-pt. and 8-pt. caps. Stack and align the name or names
with an identifier such as “Guest Editor” which should appear in italics next to the name. The affiliation should
appear as a “list” under each name. The right edge of the longest of these aligned lines should then be flush right at
the end of the last column of text. Example:
M. K. SAIN, Guest Editor
Department of Electrical Engineering
University of Illinois
Urbana, IL 60617 USA
Biographies and Photos: Biographies and photographs that appear with Editorials are set differently from
regular biographies and photos in the Transactions. They are, for example, not 8/9 type, but are the same type size as
the text of the Editorial (normally 10/12). In addition, Editorial biographies are: first 13 lines ×32, rest at 43 picas.
The photos are reduced to 9 1/2 ×12 picas.
Copyright Line: Run a copyright line for the Editorial, even if no copyright form is submitted by the Editor.
Brief Papers
Brief papers are set up like full length papers, except that the paper title is set in 16-pt. TR, centered on 43
picas. These papers do contain Abstracts and also take the initial cap. The byline includes the membership
grade. See Section I-B. They do not contain biographies and photographs of the authors. Footnotes,
references, and figure/table captions are 8/9 TR. The papers carry issue running heads on both left and right
pages.
Short Papers, Correspondence, and Communications
Short papers are set up like full-length papers, except that usually they are 9/11 type and their titles and bylines
are smaller type and run across only one column. Usually, short paper titles are 10/12 bold with bylines 9-pt. upper
and lower case. These papers do contain Abstracts, but do not take the initial cap. The membership grade is not
included in the byline. Author biographies and photos are not included. Footnotes, captions, references are 8/9 type.
Comments and Replies
Comments are generally in response to a previously published paper. The Comments and Author(s) Reply are
short papers published together in that the “Reply” is in response to the Comments. These short items may appear
without Abstracts. A special format applies for Comments and Author(s) Reply. Begin the first sentence with “In the
above paper [1], ...” Reference [1] is the commented paper’s citation, will appear as Reference [1] in the References
section. Include a copyright line for Comments and Replies even if no new forms are required from the author(s).
Some publications refer to these articles as Discussions and Closures.
Index Terms are optional.
Example of the Comments:
Title: Comments on “Harmonics: The Effects on Power Quality and Transformers”
Byline: Keith H. Sueker

Corrections/Errata
The format for a Corrections is basically the same as for the Comments, except that a Corrections does not carry
a Reply. Run a copyright line with a Corrections even if no new forms are received from the author(s). Corrections
that has been generated in-house may be labeled “Erratum,” and should also follow the standard format, although
the byline may be omitted because the IEEE Transactions/Journals Department assumes authorship of the
Corrections. Note: The plural form of the word is used in the title, even if there may be only one correction.
Example of a “Corrections” article:

Book Reviews
Some publications carry Book Reviews. The type specs of the text are the same as for a short paper or
correspondence; however, the title runs additional information about the book that is being reviewed. The title is
separated from the book’s author by an em dash. Included in parentheses is the city of publication, publisher, date of
publication, the total number of pages of the book, and the price. Outside of the parentheses is the reviewer’s name
in italics. Some Transactions carry a short biography of the reviewer under the title. Book Reviews appear in the
table of contents with a listing for both the author of the book and the reviewer. Example:
Title and Byline:

Obituaries/In Memoriam
Obituaries are usually run as the first page of an issue, like an Editorial. They are set up with the same specs as
Editorials. Obituaries normally are formatted as one column, at 36 picas width. They may carry a photo of the
person being memorialized, usually the same size as in Editorials (9-1/2 ×12 picas). The name appears above the
photograph in 12-pts., boldface. The photograph is generally centered above the text. The years of birth and death
are generally cited at the bottom of the photo in 12-pts., boldface type in parentheses. The obituary is normally set as
one column, across a 36-pica width.

F. Editing Style for Transactions
The following provides a summary of the most important style distinctions to be made in the final copy editing
of a Transactions paper.
Acronyms
Define acronyms the first time they appear in the Abstract as well as the first time they appear in the body of the
paper, written out first as part of the sentence, followed by the acronym in parentheses. Widely used or familiar
terms should be defined (see Section VIII-F of this manual for some terms that must be defined the first time they
are used in text). Acronyms do not need to be defined in the text if mentioned in the Nomenclature. Coined plurals
or plurals of acronyms do not take the apostrophe as per Chicago Manual of Style. Example: FET (singular); FETs
(plural).
Indefinite articles are assigned to abbreviations to fit the sound of the first letter: an FCC regulation; a BRI.
Spelling
Obviously, in reading and editing a paper, misspellings and typographical errors are top priority for correction.
Note that IEEE Transactions use the first spellings indicated in our first reference, the most current edition of
Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary.
British Spellings and Terminology: Change all British spellings to American spellings. In particular, watch for
“our” endings in words like “behaviour” (change to “behavior”) and “re” endings in words like “centre” (change to
“center”). Also watch for the use of “s” rather than “z” in words like “polarisation” (change to “polarization”). See
“Common Hyphenations and Misspellings” in Section VIII-E.
Trademarks
The trademark symbol, ™ and ® are no longer used. Capitalize the first letter in the trademark name only.
Follow the author’s notation. The symbols ™ and ®, which often accompany registered trademark names on
product packaging and in advertisements, need not be used in running text.
Plurals
Plurals of units of measure take the “s.” For example, the plural form of 3 mil is 3 mils; 3 bits/s instead of 3 bit/s.
The plural of calendar years do not take the apostrophe before the “s.” For example, the plural form of 1990 is
1990s.
Hyphenation Rules
For hyphenation and spelling guidelines, IEEE style follows: 1) the list of preferred spellings and hyphenated words;
2) the guidelines discussed in the Grammar and Usage in Transactions section of this guide; and 3) the first version
of the spelling given in Webster’s Tenth New Collegiate Dictionary. Do not hyphenate most compound modifiers if
they occur after the noun being modified, even if hyphenating them before the noun. "Except for cooperate and
coordinate, use a hyphen if the prefix ends in a vowel and the word that follows begins with the same vowel."
Example:
The plan was well prepared. The man was little known. The woman was better qualified. His boat was 42
feet long. He has a 42-feet-long boat. T was the data period of the 40-Gb/s data signal. The 160-GHz MLLD
was a diode in which a 40-nm-long saturable absorber was located.
Follow the author’s preference if the result is consistent and clear. The most important hyphenation guideline is
to be certain that the hyphenation for a particular word or group of adjectives is consistent within a particular paper.
The En, Em, or Two-Em Dash
The en dash represents the words “to,” “through,” or “and.” Use it between page numbers, reference numbers,
figure citations, academic years, proper nouns, names, a range of values, or for opposites. Examples are: pp. 10–15,
1984–1990, Jones–Smith theorem, input–output, voltage–current curve, analog–digital converter, 10–20 cm. Also,
use the en dash in chemical abbreviations such as Ni–Al–Si. When using the en dash to represent a range, if the
word “from” occurs, the word “to” must be used rather than an en dash (ranges from 5 to 50 times).
The em dash is used in ordinary writing to mark a suspension of the sense. It is also used like parentheses, to
mark a subordinate thought within a sentence.

Grammar
Check closely for lapses of clarity, subject/verb agreement, and parallel clause construction. See samples below
and a more detailed discussion in the Grammar and Usage in Transactions section of this guide.
Number:
A number of samples were taken …
A number N expressing the relation x/y is chosen …
Data:
The data were collected … (always plural)
Series:
A series of tests was run … (always singular with “a”)
Some, All, Half:
Some (all, half) of it is …
Some of them are …
Quantity:
Three volts was applied …
Four grams was added …
Contractions
Contractions such as “don’t” and “can’t” are not used in technical text. Change to “do not” and “cannot.”
Note: “don’t care,” “best-case,” and “worst-case” are allowed and used often in journals like TCAD.
Capitalization
In general, discourage capitalization in text except where absolutely necessary. For example, only proper names
attached to the names of laws, principles, theorems, etc., get capitalized (Boyle’s law, Newton’s first law, etc.).
Computer commands are in computer tags and remain small caps; most computer languages (Cobol, Java, LISP,
PERL, etc.) are upper and lower case. In text, the names of IEEE publications are 10-pt. and 8-pt. caps:
TRANSACTIONS, IEEE SPECTRUM, PROCEEDINGS OF THE IEEE.
Math
Some brief guidelines for editing math are explained here. For further discussion, see Section IV of this guide.

Variables are set italic; vectors are usually boldface italic (if distinguished by the author).
Remove commas around variables in text.
If not included by the author, always add a zero before decimals, but do not add after (e.g., 0.25).
Stet the use of the author’s parentheses and brackets (i.e., [0,1) may be correct).
Spell out units used in text without quantities (e.g., “where the noise is given in decibels”). For units
appearing with quantities, use the standard abbreviations listed in Section VIII-G.
Numbers and units used as compound adjectives may be hyphenated only if needed for clarity: 10-kV
voltage, 5-in-thick glass. Do not insert a hyphen when they are not used as adjectives: a current of 2 A, a line
4 in long, a length of 3.05 mm.
Use thin spaces instead of commas between numbers in tens or hundreds of thousands (e.g., 62 000, 100 000,
but 4000).
Always change µ to µm, “micron” to “micrometer,” “submicron” to submicrometer.” Always change cycle
per second to hertz (Hz); cycle per second may not appear as cycle, cps, c/s, csec. See “Table of Units and
Quantity Symbols” in Section VIII-G.
In text, break down (shill) multiline (built-up) fractions so they can be placed on one line. Sometimes
parentheses may need to be added to distinguish between expressions, especially when a minus appears [e.g.,
a becomes a (b − c) ], c − d becomes (c − d) (k + 4) .
b−c
k +4

[

]

10) In exponential expressions [e.g., e -(jwt)xyzk ], there are sometimes long and complicated superscripts. These
may be brought down on line with the substitution of “exp” for “e” and the addition of square brackets (e.g.,
exp[–(jwt)xyzk]).
11) Distinguish between lower case italic “ell” or “oh” versus one and zero.
12) Always use numerals for numbers written with units. Otherwise, spell out numbers below 11, and use
numerals for others unless they begin a sentence or are combined in a phrase (gives 7 to 13 times more).
13) Use zeroth, first, nth, (k + 1)th, not 1st, 2nd, (k + 1)st, etc.
14) Use the word “equation” at the start of a sentence, but in text, just use the number [e.g., in (1)].

25

15) Use the $ symbol versus “dollars” in sums of money.
16) The slash (/) is acceptable in place of the word “per” when it lends to the clarity of the sentence. For
example: “the ratio of 16 samples/s to 35 samples/s as compared to …”
Ellipses: In mathematics an author may use dots (ellipses) to show continuation in an expression (e.g., x 2 , ...,
x 16 ). The type of mathematical expression will determine whether the ellipses points are set on the baseline or
centered. If commas or operational signs are present, they are placed after each term and after the three ellipses
points (almost all expressions will use three points). If operational signs are used, the ellipses are centered on the
operator. When commas are used the ellipses are on the baseline. Example:
x 1 , x 2 , …, x n not x 1 , x 2 … x n
x 1 + x 2 + … + x n not x 1 + x 2 + … x n
y = 0, 1, 2, … not y = 0, 1, 2 …
x 1 x 2 … a n not x 1 x 2 … a n
Conditions: In displayed equations, there should be a comma or parentheses and a two-em space between the
main expression and the condition following it. Example:

x = yn -2

∀n = 3

x = yn -2,

if n = 3 - y - 4 .

x = yn -2,

y = 3,  , m

NOTE: There is no comma before a for all “ ∀ ” symbol.
Compound Units: Compound units should be separated by a multidot (e.g., 4 V · s), but leave the slash if the
author uses it since this has a different meaning (for instance, 6 V/s means volts per second). It is also possible to
use a negative power to put a unit in the denominator: cm/s2 = cm · s–2. Parentheses may be used to clarify a unit:
g/(cm · s) or g · cm–1 · s–1.
Use of Periods and Commas: Equations which conclude a sentence should end with a period. The only time
punctuation is used to lead into an equation is when the lead-in text is a complete sentence. Example:
where we had the following:
x = Y + Z.
or where, i.e.,
x = Y + Z.
Commas appearing at the ends of equations are deleted unless they are critical to the punctuation of the sentence
containing the equation.
Equation Numbers
Check that equation numbering is consecutive, that it appears flush right on line with the last line of an equation,
that there are no repeats or missing numbers, and that a correct numbering style has been used.
Displayed Equations
Material in displayed equations is automatically italic unless otherwise indicated by the author. Some simple
general rules apply. All variables are italic. Function names and abbreviations are Roman, as are units, unit
abbreviations, complete words, and abbreviations of words. Superscripts and subscripts follow this same formula:
when they are variables, they are italic; when they are abbreviations of words (such as “in” and “out” for input and
output), they are Roman. Single-letter superscripts and subscripts may be italic even if they are abbreviations, unless
this leads to inconsistency between italic and Roman characters for similar types of subscripts.
Typical Problems
Which does the author mean: zero or “oh”? one or “ell”? subscript variable or on line? A general guideline to
help resolve these questions before querying the author is to read carefully through the paper—does the author
mention “O” for output or use a series of numbers like 0, 1, 2,?—and look through the illustrations—does V s appear
in the figures or is it Vs? This may provide clues.

Normal page depth for a Transactions is 60 picas (called even).
Pages may run one line long (61 picas) or short (59 picas), but facing pages (left and right) must be the same
depth.
Transactions papers are set in a two-column format. Each column is 21 picas wide, with a 1-pica space
between the two columns, giving a total page width of 43 picas.
Specifics of type area spacing are approximately 18 pts. between text and footnotes or figures and text, 6 pts.
above and below equations and lists, 12 pts. above primary heads, at least 6 pts. above secondary heads, and
3 picas between biographies.
Figures and tables are placed at the tops of columns as close to their first mention as possible, but preferably
after the mention.
Figures and tables progress vertically, not horizontally, on pages.
Footnotes must appear at the bottom of the column where they are first mentioned.
There must be at least two or three lines of text under a head at the bottom of a column.
Never leave widows at the tops of columns when breaking text. (A “widow” is any single last line of a
paragraph, even if it is of full column width.) The exceptions are when widows are used to introduce
equations or when they are in the Reference section.
Avoid breaking multiline equations so that one line appears at the bottom of a column and the others at the
top of the next column.
The starting page number is determined by checking the previous issue—it is the next page number after the
last page of the preceding issue, including any fillers. Issues beginning a new calendar year always start with
page 1.
Obituaries/In Memoriam(s) are articles formatted on 36-pica width.

III. GRAMMAR AND USAGE IN TRANSACTIONS
A. Rules of Grammar
The principles of style given below aim to concentrate on fundamentals of modern usage. Particular emphasis is
given to the rules most commonly violated.
1) Form the possessive singular of nouns by adding’s (Avogadro’s theorem).
2) In a series of three or more terms, use a comma immediately before the coordinating conjunction
(usually and, or, or nor).
3) Enclose parenthetic expressions between commas. (Improvement, as shown in Fig. 1, is attained by the
addition of the cogeneration.).
4) Use the semicolon, not the comma, to separate two complete sentences which form a compound sentence.
5) Use a colon after an independent clause to introduce a list.
6) Punctuation always goes inside quotation marks, except for the colon and semicolon. Use single quotation
marks around quotes within quotes. Quotes may be used around a new or special usage of a term the first time
only, but use of quotes in this manner should be kept to a minimum.
7) Do not use double parentheses in text expressions, but keep them in math. For example, (see (10)) should
become [see (10)].
8) All acronyms and numerical plurals do not use apostrophes, i.e., FETs, 1980s.
9) Compound nouns made from a one-syllable verb and a short adverb are one word when found that way in
the dictionary (setup, takeoff, breakup). Compound nouns are likely to be two words, without a hyphen, or one
word (bandwidth, bypass, flowchart, phase shift, sideband, standing wave). Compound nouns of more than two
words can be hyphenated.
10) A pair of words, modifying a third word separately, does not get a hyphen (a tall water tower, a hot metal
cylinder). If the first word modifies the second, and the pair together modify the third, there is a hyphen between
the pair (a high-frequency signal, a second-order equation). The exception to this is the adverb ending in “ly,”
which needs no hyphen to join it to the next word.
11) A hyphen is not used after the comparative or the superlative (a higher order equation, a worst case value,
nearest neighbor method). Do not hyphenate chemical compounds (sodium chloride crystals). Alloys and
mixtures take the en dash (Ni–Co, He–Ne laser).
12) Do not use commas between adjectives (a planar equiangular spiral antenna).
13) Do not hyphenate predicate adjectives (… is well known, …is second order).
14) Compound verbs are generally hyphenated (arc-weld, freeze-dry). Keep the hyphen when using the participles
of such verbs as adjectives (freeze-dried, arc-welded). However, verbs with up, out, down, off, on, etc., do not
have a hyphen, although the nouns formed from them may be hyphenated or one word (Verb: set up, break down,
read out; Noun: setup, breakdown, readout).
B. Words Often Confused
Affect: to change or modify (verb).
Effect: result (noun); cause (verb).
Alternate: a substitute.
Alternative: a matter of choice.
Among: involves more than two things.
Between: involves more than two things, but considers each individually.
Compare to: point out resemblances between different objects.
Compare with: point out differences between same objects.
Compose: a set composed of members.
Comprise: a set comprising members; members comprising a set.
Farther: distance.
Further: quantity.
Fewer: modifies plural nouns specifying countable units, e.g., fewer tubes.
Less: modifies singular mass nouns and singular abstract nouns, e.g., less air.
Imply: something suggested though not expressed.

IV. EDITING MATHEMATICS
A. The Language of Math
When editing technical publications it is important to remember that the mathematics often carries as much if not
more meaning than the body of text itself. Therefore, it is critical that the grammar of an equation be taken into account
when editing.
Most equations should read like a sentence. They should contain a noun and a verb and often contain adjectives,
prepositional phrases, conjunctions, and conditions. Equations also contain punctuation. When math occurs along with
text it shares the grammatical characteristics of the text. A displayed expression may be a main or subordinate clause,
an expression in apposition, a direct object, an item in a list, or the object of a preposition. Use comma at end of
introductory sentences after: i.e., e.g., “Hence” or “That is.” Use a colon after words such as “following” or “as
follows.” There should be no punctuation after forms of the verb to be, or between a verb and its object or a preposition
and its object. IEEE style dictates that the only punctuation used at the end of an equation is a period. There is,
however, other punctuation permitted in the equation itself and between an equation and its condition. This interior
punctuation contains mathematical meaning and must not be changed.
Some examples of interior punctuation are as follows.
Mathematical Ellipses:
I = 1, 2, 3, … , n
NOTE: Only three dots are used and they are enclosed by commas and are on the baseline.
Matrix:
− 4.65 E +0
CEopt =  1.97 E + 0

+0
− 1.62 E

3.36 E +0 
− 1.07 E −1 − 1.42 E −1 − 9.50 E −4 2.52 E +1
1.44 E −1
8.80 E + 0
5.88 E − 2 2.14 E +1 1.46 E + 0 

1.01 E +1
6.27 E − 2 − 1.92 E +1 − 1.37 E + 0
− 1.10 E −1

(1)

NOTE: There is a centered operator, equation number, and period.
Parenthetic Statement:
v(t) = u (t),

t = 1, 2,…, m.

NOTE: There is a 2em space after the comma and before the condition t = 1, 2,…, m. Multiple conditions should
be separated with a semicolon, with a comma at the end of the equation, a 2em space, and the condition aligned on
the operator.
B. In-Line Equations and Expressions
An inline equation is an equation within text or part of a paragraph. It is not displayed.
Rule 1: Equations appearing in text should be broken after a verb or an operator, meaning, if at all possible, the verb
or operator should remain on the top line of text.
Rule 2: Fractions should not appear stacked in line. ( xy + 6α ) should be written as ( xy + 6α ) ( xy ) .
xy

Rule 3: Collective signs should not appear with limits to top and bottom, but to the side instead.
i =∞

∑

should be written as

i =∞

∑i=0

.

i =0

2

( zx + y ) (α − 2 yx ) + zx

Rule 4: Use Roman function exp instead of e followed by a lengthy superscript. e
should be written
as exp[(zx2 + y) (α – 2yx) + zx].
Rule 5 (optional): Avoid square roots (radical signs) having long bars. ( x + α ) should be rewritten as (x + α)½.

C. Break/Alignment Rules
Rule 1: Break equations at verbs and align on same when possible for a displayed equation.
A = (5α + x) + (10y + β)2
≥ (5x – α + y + x2)
≡ B2

I. IEEE Citation Reference

References
NOTE: Use et al. when three or more names are given.
References in Text:
References need not be cited in the text. When they are, they appear on the line, in square brackets, inside
the punctuation. Grammatically, they may be treated as if they were footnote numbers, e.g.,
as shown by Brown [4], [5]; as mentioned earlier [2], [4]–[7], [9]; Smith [4] and Brown and Jones [5]; Wood et
al. [7]
or as nouns:
as demonstrated in [3]; according to [4] and [6]–[9].
References Within a Reference:
Check the reference list for ibid. or op. cit. These refer to a previous reference and should be eliminated from the
reference section. In text, repeat the earlier reference number and renumber the reference section accordingly. If the
ibid. gives a new page number, or other information, use the following forms:
[3, Th. 1]; [3, Lemma 2]; [3, pp. 5-10]; [3, eq. (2)]; [3, Fig. 1]; [3, Appendix I]; [3, Sec. 4.5]; [3, Ch. 2, pp. 5-10];
[3, Algorithm 5].
NOTE: Editing of references may entail careful renumbering of references, as well as the citations in text.
Style
Reference numbers are set flush left and form a column of their own, hanging out beyond the body of the reference.
The reference numbers are on the line, enclosed in square brackets. In all references, the given name of the author or
editor is abbreviated to the initial only and precedes the last name. Use commas around Jr., Sr., and III in names. If there
are many names, use et al. Note that when citing IEEE Transactions, if the month is not available, the number may
be kept, although it is normally deleted. Keep the day of the month when referencing a patent. References may not
include all information; please obtain and include relevant information. Do not combine references. There must be only
one reference with each number. If there is a URL included with the print reference, it can be included at the end of
the reference.

2014 IEEE Taxonomy
IEEE Taxonomy: A Subset Hierarchical Display of IEEE Thesaurus Terms

The IEEE Taxonomy comprises the first three hierarchical 'levels' under each term-family (or
branch) that is formed from the top-most terms of the IEEE Thesaurus. In this document these
term-families are arranged alphabetically and denoted by boldface type. Each term family's
hierarchy goes to no more than three sublevels, denoted by indents (in groups of four dots)
preceding the next level terms. A term can appear in more than one hierarchical branch and
can appear more than once in any particular hierarchy. The 2014 IEEE Taxonomy is defined in
this way so that it is always a subset of the 2014 IEEE Thesaurus.
