From IEEE Citation Guidelines.

In-text citations use sequential numbers in brackets [ ] to link references within your report. These numbers correspond to a single reference list, regardless of source type. Each reference number should be enclosed in square brackets on the same line as the text, before any punctuation, with a space before the bracket. Examples:

• “. . .end of the line for my research [13].”
• “The theory was first put forward in 1987 [1].”
• “Scholtz [2] has argued. . . .”
• “Several recent studies [3, 4, 15, 22] have suggested that. . . .”
