IEEE citations: verify technical-source metadata

IEEE uses numbered references and is common in engineering and computing. Accurate author order, paper title, publication venue, volume/issue, pages, year and DOI are more important than trying to fix punctuation by hand afterward.

Keep the numbered-reference workflow consistent across the document rather than mixing author–date conventions into the bibliography.
