The following are the top 10 publishers which PolyU researchers have their works published across various subject areas in the recent 5 years. [Data from Scopus]
If you are writing a paper for a journal, always check the citation style requirements from that specific journal, because different journal (or publisher) may use different citation styles.
You may refer to the following examples for author instructions:
PolyU ELC Reference Guides
APA Style
IEEE Style
MLA Style
Harvard Style
Chicago Style
IEEE style follows a numbered system in referencing. Each source is cited with a number in square brackets in text.

Instead of manually entry of citations, a number of databases subscribed by the Library support direct export of citations to EndNote (or other reference management tools). This means, when you choose the appropriate export option, the citation of the items you have selected will automatically be imported into the EndNote (or other reference management tools) installed on your computer. Be aware that sometimes IEEE citation format may contain errors (e.g., missing volume number). You will need to double check the format of citations and references.
Here below are some examples of commonly used databases that offer citation direct export. The steps are quite similar, and the main difference is the name of the button to export.
Step 1. Click into the article you wish to cite. Then click on "EndNote RIS" button.
Step 2. Choose Encoding as "UTF-8".
Step 3. Click "Download".
Step 1. Click into the article you wish to cite. Then click "Download Citation" icon.
Step 2. Choose the output format, to BibTeX (for LaTeX) or to RIS (for EndNote).
Step 3. Click "Download".
Step 1. Select the article(s) you wish to cite by clicking on the envelope icon.
Step 2. Click "Folder View".
Step 3. Select the items to export.
Step 4. Click "Export".
Step 5. Choose to export to EndNote or BibTeX format (for LaTeX).
Step 6. Click "Save".
Step 1. Click into the article, or select multiple articles on the result page you wish to cite.
Step 2. Click "Send to".
Step 3. Select "Citation manager".
Step 4. Click "Create File". The downloaded file can be opened in both EndNote and LaTeX reference tools.
Step 1. Click into the article, or select multiple articles on the result page you wish to cite.
Step 2. Click "Export".
Step 3. In the pop-up window, select "RIS Format (EndNote, Reference Manager)". To export BibTeX, select "BibTeX".
Step 4. Click "Export".
Step 1. Click into the article, or select multiple articles on the page you wish to cite.
Step 2. Click "Save to EndNote desktop". To export BibTeX, click on "Save to Other File Formats" and then select "BibTeX".
Step 3. Click "Send".
