Most style guides do not offer guidance on citing standards. The examples provided here have been drawn from several sources to provide some guidance on citing standards. If the information here does not provide enough detail about citing standards, ask a librarian for help.
Your citation needs to include enough information for anyone interested to be able to track down the original document.*
For examples using specific styles such as APA and IEEE, refer to the Standards Guide.
As with any database generated citation that can be copied and pasted into your document, you should check for errors. Databases can help retrieve the essential information required to generate a citation, but should be checked by referring to the specific style guide to ensure accuracy.
