IEEE

There are no special in-text citations-- call the source out in the text using simply [#], just as you would for a textual resource.

Full text Reference:

IEEE specially calls out the need to list the distributor, URL/DOI, and full date accessed (unless there is an available version # to specify the exact instance of the data used). For textual materials, IEEE uses "Title" typically for chapters or articles and Title for books; however, IEEE's own citation guide utilizes both for datasets, which suggests some degree of individuality vs. packaged unit to decide between.

 

Basic Format: AuthorFirstInitial. AuthorLastName, “Title of dataset. Version#.” (Date, Year). Distributed by Publisher/Distributor. http://url.com doi: http://xxx. (end with a period, including if DOI is used, unless you end with a URL)
