I am using the ieeetr bibliography style and have a specific problem concerning @inproceedings type of references.

My tex file is as follows:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\cite{date2019classical}

\bibliographystyle{ieeetr}
\bibliography{references.bib}

\end{document}

And my bib file is as follows:

@inproceedings{date2019classical,
    Author = {Date, Prasanna and Schuman, Catherine and Patton, Robert and Potok, Thomas},
    Booktitle = {Future of Inf. and Communication Conf.},
    Pages = {98--117},
    Title = {A Classical-Quantum Hybrid Approach for Unsupervised Probabilistic Machine Learning},
    Year = {2019}}

The compiled file looks like this:

The IEEE Reference Guide requires that for conference proceedings, the page numbers should appear at the very end (see "Conference Proceedings in Print (Paper Presented at a Conference)" section on page 6), i.e. the last part of the bibliography entry should be: 2019, pp. 98-117.

Is there a way to achieve this?

The ieeetr bibliography style dates back to the early 1980s. It's almost as old as very first version of LaTeX. As such, it no longer represents the current IEEE reference guide for how bibliographic entries should be formatted.

What to do? Very easy: switch to the IEEEtran bibliography style.

Observe that the pages field is placed after the year field.

\RequirePackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{references.bib}
@inproceedings{date2019classical,
    Author = {Date, Prasanna and Schuman, Catherine and Patton, Robert and Potok, Thomas},
    Booktitle = {Future of Inf. and Communication Conf.},
    Pages = {98--117},
    Title = {A Classical-Quantum Hybrid Approach for Unsupervised Probabilistic Machine Learning},
    Year = {2019}}
\end{filecontents}

\documentclass{article}
\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}

\begin{document}
\cite{date2019classical}
\bibliography{references}
\end{document}
