Best Answer

IEEEtran is a class which is in itself everything you need to write a paper (whether journal or article) in IEEE format. It includes all the formatting needed for both the paper and the bibliography. This is declared at the beginning of the document. E.g.:

\documentclass[journal]{IEEEtran}

All the information for writing in IEEE format, along with templates and directions can be found here.

Now, if what you want is your bibliography on IEEE format, then please visit this page. Don't forget to read the IEEEtran_HOWTO.pdf.

Then it is just a matter of writing:

\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\bibligraphy{mybibbliographyfile}
