IEEE BibTex style for ITU Recommendation

[Kelvin]

Hi,

I have been trying to search around on which reference type should I
use for ITU recommendation when I use the IEEEtran style.

Has anyone use that before?
I want it to appear as follow

International Telecommunications Union. Recommendation I371: Traffic
control and congestion control in B-ISDN. Geneva, 1996.

I tried the TechReport reference type but it gives me

ITU-T, Traffic Control and Congestion Control in B-ISDN, Geneva, 1996,
ITU Recommendation

@TechReport{itu371.1996,
author = "ITU-T",
title = "Traffic control and congestion control in {B}-{ISDN}",
institution = "International Telecommunication Union",
type = "Recommendation",
number = "I.371",
address = "Geneva",
month = nov,
year = "1996",
}

Can someone please help on this one?

thanks

Kelvin

It is a recommendation for a standard. Use the IEEEtran entry type for
standards (@standard). There are examples of these in the IEEEtran.bst
documentation.

bibliography the way it suppose to appear like what i show above.

Well, IEEEtran does things, for better or worse, the way IEEE does
things (or at least is supposed to ;). Thus, the address is not
shown with standards. Very often, IEEE editors handle the standard
type improperly. For example, see the section "Unusual types of
references - Other References" in the IEEEtran.bst HOWTO.
References 47, 48, 49 and 59 in the HOWTO show valid ways to
handle standards for IEEE publications. The IEEEexample.bib
file gives the publications in which these references actually
appeared in print (except for 59 which was done incorrectly).
Note that 49 uses the misc entry type.

I do not recommended that you put "ITU-T" in the author
field. This is not correct as ITU-T is an institution.

and it's a rapporteur group which creates the standard in the first
place (and should therefore "really" be regarded as the author). i
don't know how itu-t works beyond that[*], but in iso, the rapporteur
group reports to a working group (mostly[**]), a working group to a
subcommittee, and thence to a technical committee. it's at that last
stage that publication is actually approved.

[*] though the concept of jointly writing iso standards and itu-t
recommendations was the up-and-coming thing when i was last working in
standards; i never actually worked jointly with an itu-t group, just
in "close liaison"
[**] rapporteur groups of scs are occasionally formed, for purposes
other than standards writing.

thanks for all the replies
I have been trying to stick to IEEE style as much as possible but with
this ITU recommendation, I end up hacking through the IEEEtran to
modify one of their style that I didn't use and make it to display the
ITU recommendation the way I want it (well, not quite i want it, but I
was told to do it that way).

If its IEEE then you might want to let me know who told you to format
it that way so that I know what to say when I get asked this in the
future. ;)

it is not IEEE publication, otherwise it will be much easier for me, as
I need to stick to the IEEE format.

You are right, this is for my dissertation.
