I am using:

\usepackage[backend=biber, style=ieee, citestyle=numeric]{biblatex}

and I get an output like this:

moodle. “moodle/moodle: Moodle - the world’s open source learning platform”. GitHub, Ed. (2022), [Online]. Available: https://github.com/moodle/moodle (visited on 02/09/2022).

But if I google for how to cite websites in ieee I found something like this (from https://citationsy.com/styles/ieee-with-url):

[1]M. Tran, “Barack Obama To Be America’s First Black President”, 05-Nov.-2008. [Online]. Available: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/nov/05/uselections20083. [Accessed: 28-Feb.-2022]

So why are the dates completely different? I thought ieee is always ieee or are there many types? And if yes, what is the right one? My Prof. does not care which one I use but it should be "consistent". So what would you suggest and how could I change the dates in general?

Maybe it is helpful if I add the related bib-entry:

@online{moodle.2022,
 author = {moodle},
 editor = {GitHub},
 year = {2022},
 title = {{moodle/moodle: Moodle - the world's open source learning platform}},
 url = {https://github.com/moodle/moodle},
 urldate = {2022-02-09},
 abstract = {Moodle - the world's open source learning platform - moodle/moodle: Moodle - the world's open source learning platform}
}

  • If you want to use the .cls provided by https://citationstyles.org you should try: https://www.ctan.org/pkg/citation-style-language instead of biblatex – DG' Feb 28 '22 at 22:36
  • @DG' thanks, but why is it in general different? I mean, my setting seems to be the default setting, and it's different to most ieee examples I found. I am wondering why this is the case. – rene Mar 01 '22 at 16:27
  • The reference section in https://ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/IEEE-Editorial-Style-Manual.pdf is rather compact, so there is some room for different interpretations. – DG' Mar 01 '22 at 18:35
