Short answer: BibTeX to IEEE conversion turns a BibTeX entry, the reference format used by LaTeX, into an IEEE-style reference. Paste your BibTeX into the free Citation Generator on Bsks, press "Convert BibTeX to IEEE", and copy the result.

How to convert BibTeX to IEEE

1. Open the Citation Generator on Bsks.
2. Scroll to "BibTeX to IEEE Converter" and paste your BibTeX entry. A journal article entry looks like this: @article{smith2024, author={Smith, John}, title={A Study of Typing}, journal={Journal of Typing}, year={2024}, volume={12}, pages={34-45}}.
3. Press "Convert BibTeX to IEEE".
4. Copy the IEEE reference. For the example above it is: J. Smith, "A Study of Typing," Journal of Typing, vol. 12, pp. 34-45, 2024.
5. The same page also builds APA, MLA, Chicago and IEEE citations from a book, website or journal article. Fill in the author, title and year, then press "Generate citation".

Tips for a clean IEEE reference

• Check that the BibTeX entry has an author, title, journal and year before converting.
• For a journal article, include volume and pages so the IEEE output shows "vol." and "pp.".
• Use the Copy button on each output so you do not have to retype the reference.
• If the entry is a book, use the book form on the same page instead of the BibTeX converter.
