IEEE prints author initials before the surname and abbreviates the periodical title. Check the abbreviation for Proceedings of the IEEE against your target publication's reference list before submitting.
APA
LeCun, Y., Bottou, L., Bengio, Y., & Haffner, P. (1998). Gradient-based learning applied to document recognition. Proceedings of the IEEE, 86(11), 2278-2324. https://doi.org/10.1109/5.726791
APA puts the year directly after the authors, keeps the full journal title in italics, and renders the DOI as a URL.
BibTeX
@article{lecun1998,
author = {Yann LeCun and Léon Bottou and Yoshua Bengio and Patrick Haffner},
title = {Gradient-based learning applied to document recognition},
journal = {Proceedings of the IEEE},
volume = {86},
number = {11},
pages = {2278--2324},
year = {1998},
issn = {0018-9219},
doi = {10.1109/5.726791}
}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. Proceedings of the IEEE records 20,184 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 not fully open access, 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.
How this journal sits in the record
Proceedings of the IEEE carries an h-index of 470, which is above 80% of the journals covered here, and its articles have accumulated 1,284,477 citations across 20,184 indexed works. Its two-year mean citedness is 10.02.
17 of the journals covered here are published by Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. Reference style is set per title rather than per publisher, so do not carry a format across from a sibling journal without checking.
These are indexing figures describing how often work in this venue is cited. They say nothing about whether a particular article is sound, and they are not a substitute for reading it.
Questions about Proceedings of the IEEE
What is the ISSN of Proceedings of the IEEE?
The linking ISSN is 0018-9219. The journal also carries 1558-2256, which usually separate the print and electronic editions. Use the linking ISSN in a BibTeX issn field.
Who publishes Proceedings of the IEEE?
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers publishes it. 17 journals covered here come from the same publisher, and they do not all share one reference style, so check the requirements for this title rather than the publisher.
Is Proceedings of the IEEE open access?
OpenAlex does not record it as fully open access. Some articles may still be open individually, so check the specific article rather than assuming from the journal.
How do I cite an article from Proceedings of the IEEE 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 lecun1998 follows the first author's surname and the year. Brace any acronym in the title so your bibliography style does not lowercase it.
Does Proceedings of the IEEE use page numbers or article numbers?
The example article runs from page 2278 to 2324, 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 Proceedings of the IEEE?
Its h-index is 470, above 80% of the journals covered here, and its articles have been cited 1,284,477 times in total. Its two-year mean citedness is 10.02. These are indexing figures, not a judgement of whether a specific article is sound.
Does Proceedings of the IEEE 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 470 and a two-year mean citedness of 10.02 across 20,184 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.
