biblatex
is rarely the right choice if you want to submit to a publisher. I recommend to assume that biblatex
is not accepted by publishers unless they explicitly say otherwise.
Let's examine this conference's LaTeX template.
The Paper Submission Guidelines at https://panel.waset.org/conference/2021/05/paris/ICCAIT/guideline link to a LaTeX template at http://waset.org/downloads/latex.zip. That .zip
file contains two files: The not very creatively named journal.cls
and journal.tex
. journal.cls
is clearly the document class file and should probably not be modified or even read by authors, but journal.tex
contains many comments. Given the state of the comments, it is however not at all clear to me how much of the comments are verbatim copy of the original template (clearly based on Michael Shell's IEEEtran
class) and what is from the conference publishers.
Anyway, towards the end of journal.tex
we find
% references section
% can use a bibliography generated by BibTeX as a .bbl file
% BibTeX documentation can be easily obtained at:
% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/doc/
% The IEEEtran BibTeX style support page is at:
% http://www.michaelshell.org/tex/ieeetran/bibtex/
%\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
% argument is your BibTeX string definitions and bibliography database(s)
%\bibliography{IEEEabrv,../bib/paper}
%
% <OR> manually copy in the resultant .bbl file
% set second argument of \begin to the number of references
% (used to reserve space for the reference number labels box)
\begin{thebibliography}{1}
\bibitem{IEEEhowto:kopka}

0.5em minus 0.4em\relax Harlow, England: Addison-Wesley, 1999.
\end{thebibliography}
This suggests to me that the best course of action would be to use BibTeX and \bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
and to copy the .bbl
file into your paper before submission. There is no mention of biblatex
and the recommended methods are completely incompatible with biblatex
, so I recommend you do not use it.
Here's how things might look
\documentclass[journal]{journal}
\begin{document}
\cite{sigfridsson}
\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\bibliography{IEEEabrv,biblatex-examples}
\end{document}
Compile this with LaTeX, BibTeX, LaTeX, LaTeX (use BibTeX and not Biber as you might do with biblatex
). More background about BibTeX is at Question mark or bold citation key instead of citation number. When you finish your paper, take your .bbl
file, which may look a bit like
