Yun Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hi guys, Just had a simple question about Harvard Referencing Style. I know for Harvard referencing, we need 'in-text referencing' and a ' reference list/bibliography' As I know, only EE and TOK ESSAYS require such formal referencing. But today I have heard that all IAs, including Chem, Physics, Bio, Maths and so on, should also follow such formal referencing style. Can't we, for IAs, only just write a reference list at the very end of the IAs? Or do we must follow the formal rules? I have seen several samples but never seen one as such, Thanks Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't follow the formal rules and neglect adding in-text citations in the IA's, you could be tagged for plagiarism. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday I have found that on IBO website, they have opened places to upload Written Tasks, Extended Essays and TOK essays. Do you know when these are due?

Thanks I'm not sure because I already graduated and I have a really vague memory of the actual deadlines. Also, deadlines are set by your school Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim9800 Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 @Yun ShootingStar is correct. Internal deadlines are set by your school. As for citations, either in-text or footnotes is fine - as long as you are clear, consistent and concise. In-text citations do count towards your word count, whereas footnotes do not.
