The IEEE Style: Peculiarities of the Format and Application Prospects

This article analyses a problematic issue related to the concept of academic integrity, i.e. keeping to the rules of citing references while writing scientific works. A number of professional editions, primarily in the field of technical sciences, have been examined as to the observance of these rules. A special attention is drawn to the style of citing references worked out by Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers - the IEEE Style. In particular the basic formats for citing both print and online books, translated books and books with a chapter title, periodicals, conferences and conference proceedings, courses, patents, standards, theses and dissertations, technical reports, software, manuals, video materials, datasets, etc. have been analysed in the article. Admitting that bibliographic activity determines the level of a scientist's culture, and proper citing references is an important indicator of the quality of a scientific work as well as guarantee that many scientists will learn it, we have proved importance of the issue in the context of integrating of Ukrainian science into the world scientific space and becoming a part of the scientific communication system.
