Can I convert my whole bibliography to IEEE at once?

Yes. Upload your .docx, pick IEEE, and every reference in the document re-formats together — you don't reformat them one by one.

Do I have to retype my references?

No. DEEPNOTIS reads the citations already in your footnotes or endnotes, structures them, and re-renders them in the target style. Nothing is retyped.

Does it work inside Microsoft Word?

You upload a Word .docx and download a reformatted Word .docx. The whole process runs in your browser — there's nothing to install.

How much does it cost?

It's free to start — 3 documents a month, no card required. Paid plans add more documents, AI auto-labeling, and automatic bibliography generation.

How to reformat your references to IEEE in Word

Got a finished manuscript with the wrong citation style? You don't have to retype a single reference. IEEE is standard in engineering / cs. Here's how to convert an entire bibliography to IEEE in minutes.

Quick answer

To reformat a whole document's references to IEEE in Word: upload your .docx to DEEPNOTIS, choose IEEE from the style picker, and export. Every footnote and reference list entry re-formats to IEEE at once — no manual retyping, and you can switch styles again any time.

The slow way — and why it hurts

Reformatting a bibliography by hand means rewriting every entry: re-ordering authors, fixing capitalization, moving the year, adding or stripping DOIs, and renumbering in-text markers. For a thesis with 50–100 references that's hours of fiddly work, and a single inconsistency is exactly what a supervisor or journal copy-editor flags. The work also has to be redone from scratch the moment you target a different journal.

The fast way — 3 steps

1
Upload your .docx
Upload the Word file that already contains your citations as footnotes or endnotes. DEEPNOTIS extracts every reference automatically.
2
Pick IEEE
Choose IEEE from 2,800+ styles. Every reference re-renders from the official CSL definition for IEEE.
3
Export your reformatted document
Download a .docx with every footnote and reference formatted in IEEE. Need another style later? Switch and re-export — the work is already done.

What changes when you switch to IEEE

IEEE is a numbered style: references are cited by number in the text and listed in the order they appear (or per the journal's rule), not alphabetically. Switching from an author-date style means every in-text marker and the reference order changes — exactly the kind of document-wide edit that is painful by hand and instant when automated.

Official source

IEEE is defined and maintained by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). DEEPNOTIS renders IEEE from the same canonical CSL definition, so your output matches the authoritative rules.
