  1. References / Bibliography For the IB Extended Essay

  2. Why is it important to cite your sources? • To give due credit to writers whose ideas contributed to your work; • To allow your reader to follow your research process, and to do related reading of their own; • To demonstrate that you are familiar with and have considered the literature on your subject.

  3. What do I have to cite? • A direct quotation from another written work; • Statistics; • Charts, tables, diagrams, illustrations; • Paraphrased or summarized ideas or data of someone else, even if you change the wording… WHEN IN DOUBT, CITE

  4. How do I cite my references? • General IB Guidelines for Extended Essays leave you to choose the method you prefer, as long as you are consistent; • Two main methods: in-text citations, or numbered systems (footnotes) • Styles include MLA http://www.mla.org/style , Chicago, Turabian.

  5. In-Text Citations • Your quote or reference is followed by a parenthetical reference to the work cited: • Levitt argues that school success has more to do with the level of education of parents than the fact that the family is intact (168).

  6. List of Works Cited / bibliography • You put the full reference in an alpha list of works cited or a bibliography: • Levitt, Stephen D. and Stephen J. Dubner. Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything. New York: HarperCollins, 2005.

  7. Numbered Systems (footnotes) • Your reference is followed by a superscript or note number that leads you to the reference at the bottom of the page or at the end of your text. • You include a full reference list or bibliography, alphabetical by author, at the end of your paper.

  8. Citing a web site: « Avian Influenza (« bird flu ») fact sheet ». February 2006. World Health Organization. 24 February 2006. <http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/avian_influenza/en/index.html>.
