Abbreviations for theses
You need to check your reference carefully for terms which should be abbreviated.
1. Month abbreviations for patents, journals, websites
Note: Month abbreviations are not needed for books, reports, conferences or theses.
This is the format for months in IEEE sytle references: Jan., Feb., Mar., Apr., May, June, July, Aug., Sept., Oct., Nov., and Dec.
You will notice that some months appear in full.
Use a slash for bimonthly issues (Aug./Sept. 2000) and a hyphen or en dash for a quarterly (July–Sept. 2000) as recommended by the IEEE Computer Society Style Guide <http://www.computer.org/author/style/index.htm>.
2. Standard IEEE words where they appear in the reference are abbreviated.
See list of words to abbreviate, refer to page 7 of IEEE Citation Reference.
For example:
B. Sun “A study on how to construct the prediction model of library lending of university library,” in 2011 International Conference on Information Science and Technology (ICIST), 2011, pp. 385-389.
will become:
B. Sun “A study on how to construct the prediction model of library lending of university library,” in 2011 Int. Conf. Inform. Sci. and Technology (ICIST), pp. 385-389
3. Abbreviations for Journal titles
4. Abbreviations for conference proceedings
For example:
M. Premaratne, "Challenges in photonic system simulation" in Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference
will become:
M. Premaratne, "Challenges in photonic system simulation" in Proc. 6th Int. Conf. Numerical Simulation Optoelectronic Devices. (NUSOD `06), Sept., pp. 109-110.
If the work you are referencing is a thesis:
