IEEE Referencing Guide: Reports

Reports

There are a number of different types of reports including government reports, technical reports, and research reports.

Reports often have a group author, and often, the author name is the same as the publisher.

If the publisher is the same as the author then omit the publisher element in your reference.

A report will generally require the following elements:

• The author(s) of the report
• Title of the report in double quotation marks.
• Publisher of the report (the abbreviated name of company or institution that published the report)
• Date that the report was published
• Date Accessed
• URL of the report if available online 

In-text citation
