IEEE prints author initials before the surname and abbreviates the periodical title. Check the abbreviation for Remote Sensing against your target publication's reference list before submitting.
APA
Chen, H., & Shi, Z. (2020). A Spatial-Temporal Attention-Based Method and a New Dataset for Remote Sensing Image Change Detection. Remote Sensing, 12(10), 1662. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs12101662
APA puts the year directly after the authors, keeps the full journal title in italics, and renders the DOI as a URL.
BibTeX

}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. Remote Sensing records 43,413 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.
How this journal sits in the record
Remote Sensing carries an h-index of 275, which is above 19% of the journals covered here, and its articles have accumulated 1,150,611 citations across 43,413 indexed works. Its two-year mean citedness is 5.
12 of the journals covered here are published by Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute. 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 Remote Sensing
What is the ISSN of Remote Sensing?
The linking ISSN is 2072-4292. Use it in a BibTeX issn field so the entry stays resolvable.
Who publishes Remote Sensing?
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute publishes it. 12 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 Remote Sensing 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 Remote Sensing 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 chen2020 follows the first author's surname and the year. Brace any acronym in the title so your bibliography style does not lowercase it.
Does Remote Sensing use page numbers or article numbers?
The example article runs from page 1662, 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 Remote Sensing?
Its h-index is 275, above 19% of the journals covered here, and its articles have been cited 1,150,611 times in total. Its two-year mean citedness is 5. These are indexing figures, not a judgement of whether a specific article is sound.
Does Remote Sensing 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 275 and a two-year mean citedness of 5 across 43,413 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.
