RefWorks is a citation management tool that will format in IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinf; and IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking.

You might also look into Papers3. It's an all in one tool (PDF reader, citation manager, etc.), but I've been happy with how it handles reference formatting.

ACM also has a few template you can use:

http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates

Endnote has a .dot file template for IEEE format.

If you want to format or re-format your research paper to any IEEE journal or conference template, check out - Typeset.io

If you write your papers using LaTeX, you will soon realize that every publisher has a different stylesheet. Switching between them during the writing process is difficult, as every stylesheet requires you to structure your document differently, use a different bibliography style, and even use different commands to define the authors, institutions, etc.

One nice solution is to use PaperShell, which is a template paper project that comes with many common stylesheets already bundled, and has scripts that take care of many menial tasks. (Disclaimer: I am the author of PaperShell.) I have used it on an almost daily basis for many years, and it has greatly streamlined the way I write and process papers in LaTeX.

Traditionally researchers have had few options to format their papers in IEEE format.

While option 1 and 2 can take considerable manual effort, option 3 has a big learning curve to begin with.

If you want to save time and focus on writing your research, try Typeset.io . It automatically formats your paper to any IEEE journalformat.

How does it work?

2. The editor provides you an interface where you can start writing your content. You can find information of mandatory sections of the journal as well as what needs to be written in these sections.

3. You can import references, cite, add equations, images, tables etc. easily using in-built tools on the editor.

4. You can then generate your content in the IEEE journal format in a click.

It also has journal formats of top publishers such as Elsevier, Springer, ACS, Wiley etc. Try it out!

All the best for your research paper!

Typeset.io is nice, but I see a few negative points that make me not use it for writing papers.

1. It is not free. You need to subscribe to a monthly plan to download the sources for your paper.

2. Although the home page claims "version control", I don't see any Git-like functionalities for managing your files (branches, merges, etc.). In contrast, PaperShell is a native Git repository.

3. You have to edit everything on the web through their interface. You can't work offline using your favourite text editor. Since you don't have the files locally, you can't run them through Aspell or process them somehow.

4. The "no-LaTeX" editor looks nice, but since you never see the LaTeX sources, there's bound to be something you won't be able to do just with pseudo-wysiwyg.

I am trying Typeset.io now to have Elsevier format. I noticed that when I add an equation, the lines in the same paragraph are not arrangement any more.

Is that LATEX format??

typeset.io may help

I have found it very frustrating to find a tool to help format in IEEE format paper and also to check a document. I tried several tools and they do not quite get it right. Then the conference I am submitting to tells me there is an error in my document's format, but not what the error is. Any suggestions?

Hi Tom,

Good question!

I use pandoc with a set of filters I've written to support this exact workflow.

Pandoc is an awesome tool! This is especially true once properly configured for scientific writing. Personally, I write all my papers in Markdown — or RMarkdown for the fancy stuff that requires generating figures — and leave pandoc to automatically produces pdfs and LaTeX output. In fact, all my builds are simultaneously generated for 3 separate versions — corresponding to the major style guides in computer science — ACM, IEEE and LNCS formatting. I get really distracted writing LaTeX directly -- it's really easy to lose track on what you want to say when writing when you could spend half the day type-setting and resizing figures. This is where writing in markdown really shines; it allow's you the flexibility of LaTeX -- since TeX can be embedded at any part of the document -- without you going down the long road of type-setting and losing your train of thought. Best of all, if you're about to submit the paper and need to finally focus on typesetting it's easy to generate a LaTeX output of your work and edit as you normally would using the classic TeX workflow.

If you're interested in trying it out I've provided an example project here: https://github.com/BeauJoh/scientific-writing-with-pandoc

Lately I've also developed a docker container which contains all the dependencies for building purposes -- if you're like me and get frustrated by updated packages breaking latex builds. I can add this to the above GitHub project if you'd like?

Beau.

Never try Typeset.Its a nightmare.I paid for the whole year and that was it.when you export your document in word or pdf you have to re-work on it almost manually.

you cannot rely 100% on these tools . Better to check the required formt as you may get stuck when you upload your paper to the conf/journal.

For my latest paper I used the Overleaf web tool, which is free for the casual user. It is an implementation of Latex, which takes some getting used to. The draft paper has got through the automated formatting tests for an IEEE conference. https://blog.highereducationwhisperer.com/2019/07/latex-heavy-duty-publishing-tool-for.html

You can use typeset.io

My latest paper, prepared using Overleaf, got through the automated formatting tests for an IEEE conference, but still had formatting problems. Thanks to help from the conference organizers, it was finally accepted. I presented the paper at the IEEE TALE 2019 engineering education conference, in Yogyakarta, last December. The formal publication has not come out yet, but here are my presentation notes: https://www.tomw.net.au/technology/education/learning_to_reflect/tale2019_blend_flip_worthington_final.pdf

It was an excellent event, and trip. I wonder when, or if, I will be able to attend another, in person. My travel notes: https://blog.tomw.net.au/search/label/TALE%202019 and conference notes https://blog.highereducationwhisperer.com/search/label/TALE%202019

Here is the updated list of templates from Typeset with the relevant links attached below. I have included specifically for IEEE templates:

LInks:

• IEEE Journal Format - https://typeset.io/formats/ieee/default-template-for-ieee-journals/7571580208800f8572b783b996ff7646
• IEEE Conference Format - https://typeset.io/formats/ieee/default-template-for-ieee-conferences/211a41450e485314cb8e15493aad3eb4

You can use LaTeX editor or go to https://www.overleaf.com/ to register for an account and use it, then choose a template when adding a new project. You can refer to the samples at link https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates?addsearch=ieee

If you’re looking for a tool to access various research papers and journal formats, then Typeset is the way to go. Typeset gives you access to over 100,000 journal formats to choose from, including a custom IEEE template to automatically convert any text into IEEE format or any other that you want.

Here’s a link to the IEEE template that you are looking for:

I Hope it helps!

how about word file?

Any tool?

Overleaf is one of the best tools

Latex is the best option , for grammer or paraphrasing you can use quillbot

Free tool to do format the file

Pl use Overleaf

overleaf.com

you can use a overleaf template to format your article to IEEE ACM
