Personal Communications
Personal communications include conversations, letters, interviews, e-mails and telephone conversations. IEEE style states that you always cite only published works, forthcoming published works, and unpublished materials available to scholars in a library, a depository, or an archive.
For interviews or other "non-recoverable" information, no citation number is necessary. This does not mean that an attempt to identify the author is unnecessary, but that it needs to be done in the text itself. Also, do not refer to professional titles such as “Dr.” or “PhD” or even titles like U.S. Surgeon General, but do include personal titles such as “Jr.” or “III” after the surname. Such as : "In a personal interview with Bill Gates, he suggested that he would soon rule the world."
But for the annotated bibliography assignment, you can use the following format:
Example:
[7] John Smith. Chief Executive Officer, Alberta Research Council. Interview. Calgary, AB. October 15, 2009.
Or:
[7] John Smith. Chief Executive Officer, Alberta Research Council. Email. Calgary, AB. October 15, 2009.
Or:
[7] John Smith. Chief Executive Officer, Alberta Research Council. Telephone conversation. Calgary, AB. October 15, 2009.
