IEEE prints author initials before the surname and abbreviates the periodical title. Check the abbreviation for Electronics Letters against your target publication's reference list before submitting.
APA
Huynh‐Thu, Q., & Ghanbari, M. (2008). Scope of validity of PSNR in image/video quality assessment. Electronics Letters, 44(13), 800-801. https://doi.org/10.1049/el:20080522
APA puts the year directly after the authors, keeps the full journal title in italics, and renders the DOI as a URL.
BibTeX
@article{huynhthu2008,

title = {Scope of validity of PSNR in image/video quality assessment},
journal = {Electronics Letters},

}The citation key is the first author's surname and the year. Keep it stable once it appears in a draft, because renaming it breaks every cite that used it.
What to verify before you submit
- The volume and page range. Electronics Letters records 54,376 works, and articles published online first can carry a different volume from the final issue. Cite the version you read.
- The abbreviated title. IEEE style uses standard periodical abbreviations, and registry metadata almost always returns the full name instead.
- Author name order. Registry records store full given names; IEEE and APA both want initials, formatted differently from each other.
- Whether the article is open access. This journal is open access and listed in DOAJ, which affects whether a reader can reach the version you cited.
- That the source supports your claim. A correctly formatted reference says nothing about whether the passage backs the sentence citing it.

Questions about Electronics Letters
What is the ISSN of Electronics Letters?
The linking ISSN is 0013-5194. The journal also carries 1350-911X, which usually separate the print and electronic editions. Use the linking ISSN in a BibTeX issn field.
Who publishes Electronics Letters?
Institution of Engineering and Technology publishes it. Check the journal's own author guidance rather than a general publisher template, because reference style is set per title.
Is Electronics Letters open access?
OpenAlex records it as open access and it is listed in DOAJ. An open-access article is reachable by any reader, so a reviewer can check the passage you cited without a subscription.
How do I cite an article from Electronics Letters in LaTeX?
Use the BibTeX entry above as the pattern. The entry type is article, the journal field holds the full title, and the citation key huynhthu2008 follows the first author's surname and the year. Brace any acronym in the title so your bibliography style does not lowercase it.
Does Electronics Letters use page numbers or article numbers?
The example article runs from page 800 to 801, so this journal used page ranges at least for that volume. Newer issues in many journals switched to article numbers, so check the version you are citing.
How influential is Electronics Letters?
Its h-index is 212, above 2% of the journals covered here, and its articles have been cited 799,175 times in total. Its two-year mean citedness is 1.23. These are indexing figures, not a judgement of whether a specific article is sound.
Does Electronics Letters have a Journal Impact Factor?
Not one shown here. The Journal Impact Factor is Clarivate's metric, published in Journal Citation Reports and readable only with a JCR subscription, so this page does not restate it. The figures above come from OpenAlex: an h-index of 212 and a two-year mean citedness of 1.23 across 54,376 indexed works, captured on 2026-09-18. Mean citedness averages citations per work over a two-year window, which makes it closer in construction to CiteScore than to the Impact Factor. The three are not interchangeable, so quote whichever one your target venue actually asks for.
