Paste a DOI or link and get an IEEE reference, with the fields shown so you can check them.
Your browser asks Crossref and OpenLibrary directly. Nothing you paste is sent to us or stored.
The shape is always the same: who, when, what, where. Once you can see it, you can check any reference a generator gives you, including this one.

IEEE references are numbered in the order they first appear in the text, and the in-text citation is that number in square brackets. The reference list is in citation order, not alphabetical, which catches out anyone coming from APA.
IEEE writes 'M. Aspelmeyer', not 'Aspelmeyer, M.'. The name is never inverted, because the list is not alphabetised.
IEEE writes 'doi: 10.1038/nphys1170' rather than a full link, which is the opposite of the APA 7 rule.
It should not be. IEEE numbers references in the order they are first cited, and the list follows that order.
Reuse its original number. A source keeps one number for the whole document however often it is cited.
IEEE does abbreviate them in its own publications, following a standard list. Many courses accept the full title; check what yours asks for.
THE ANDROID APP
CiteRight for Android writes IEEE and five other styles, keeps your references in projects, exports a bibliography, and checks a draft sentence by sentence for text that overlaps a source.
