Emmi Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 So I'm guessing there is no specific format needed? No specific format, such as MLA, footnotes, APA, Chicago style, etc is required. You're free to do the one most comfortable to you. Just pick one way to reference, follow all its rules, and stick with that for your paper. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmi Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Hey, I hope that it wasn't mentioned before but I can't find it...What is the difference between citation and quotation? EE Guide says that the first is not included into word count but the second is..A citation is where you are giving credit to the original source of the information/phrase/word/picture/etc you are using in your paper.A quotation is where you're using the exact words/phrasing that someone used. These can be phrased in many ways, and they usually require a citation too. Two ways you can do a quotation are:1. Person Surname views the IB Diploma program as "a lot of unnecessary work." (IB Diploma Quotes, 45) (where IB Diploma quotes is the book you're quoting from, and 45 is the page number it was on)2. Person Surname, in his book IB Diploma Quotes, describes the IB program as "a lot of unnecessary work." (45)The reason a citation isn't included in the word count is because these just give credit to the original source. A quotation is included because it's additional words that make up your argument, and thus must be included. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vim Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Sort of an urgent question, this, as I waited too long to format the footnotes on my EE.I use mostly web articles as my sources; do I need to write both the date on which the article was published and the date on which I saw the article? Can I just write the publish date, as that would be much simpler and I'm sure not to make mistakes?Right now, footnotes in my EE look like this:”HMV rescued by Hilco in deal that protects 2,500 jobs”, Graham Ruddick, The Telegraph, 5 April 2013. <http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/retailandconsumer/9973602/HMV-rescued-by-Hilco-in-deal-that-protects-2500-jobs.html>Is that the right way? Thanks very much. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

suffocatingsilence Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Is it alright to use a website or app to write up your sources automatically? Edited May 1, 2015 by suffocatingsilence Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IB_taking_over Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Is it alright to use a website or app to write up your sources automatically?There is nothing wrong with using a website - except they are known to make mistakes.If you use a website you should proof-read your citations to make sure the website did it. You are probably better off writing them by hand, it's not super hard to do. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alisunnyd Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Hi! I'm doing my extended essay right now in lang and lit and was wondering which type of footnotes/references corresponds to each citation style? I want to know which one corresponds to the footnotes (where you put a number, and then at the bottom of the page you can complete the references), not the bracket citations. Thanks!

Chicago is one of the more common footnote options. (There are others, but no one really uses them, i.e. ACS.) MLA is one of the more common in text, bracket citations. Chicago has that option as well. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakko Silveira Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 How big of a deal is it if I have all the footnotes correctly used in MLA format, but have no page numbers included for the books? My teacher says it might be quite bad, but how relevant is that towards my assessment? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's part of the citation so without them you are not citing them correctly. At the most, you would probably lose the points for correct citations, which are basically free points.

udawn Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Hi! What if you read an example EE that is similar to yours and found that the reference they use was useful and can be applied to your EE too If you use the exact same reference (but different sentence or something), is that counted as plagiarism?

IB_taking_over Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 You should be fine if you found the source and looked at it yourself. In research it's perfectly fine to use the same sources. What's not cool is copying someone else's work based on the source (without proper citation).
