IEEE Reference Formatter

Overview

Manually formatting references into IEEE style is tedious and error-prone, especially when working with mixed sources such as journal articles, conference papers, books, and web resources, all of which follow slightly different templates. This tool accepts raw or loosely formatted reference strings and outputs clean, correctly ordered IEEE citations.

Features

• Parses author names, titles, venue, volume, issue, pages, and year from unstructured input.
• Normalises author name formatting to IEEE initials-last style.
• Handles journal articles, conference proceedings, books, and online sources.
• Outputs numbered reference lists ready for copy-paste into LaTeX or Word.
• Batch mode: process an entire reference list at once.

Implementation

Placeholder -- describe the parsing strategy (regex, rule-based NLP, or an LLM extraction step), the normalisation pipeline, and any edge-cases handled.
