Made a mistake in in-text citations

Recommended Posts

Hello,

For the EE I used a book which was published in 2008. In the "References" section I correctly wrote it was published in 2008. I have 3 in-text citations referring to this book. For one of them, I correctly wrote (author, 2008, p. number). But for the other two, I accidentally wrote (author, 2010, p. number), although the correct date of the book is 2008. Is this likely to cause me a big issue?

Edit: There is no version of this book published in 2010, which shows that I did not mean a different book. I think this also shows that I just confused the dates and made an honest mistake (which I did). I don't think anyone will notice, but even if they do, I don't think they will accuse me of anything.

Edit 2: My school doesn't let me change anything anymore in the EE.

Edit 3: If someone opens the 2008 book on the page I provided in the citation, they will find that on that page of the 2008 book is the thing that I cited.

Can anyone say for (almost) certain if there'll be an issue?

Thanks

Nobody would pass IB if everyone loses diploma over a typo. There will not be any issue.

Hey, what if i misspelled the author name in the in-text, but spelt it correctly in the works cited page. Is that plagiarism and could i lose my diploma over that?

I assume that you should not have a problem about this. But I understand your feelings. I am most afraid of making a mistake in my research work. I constantly think about it. The smallest mistake can lower my score, and I claim the highest score. When my excitement about this reached its limit, I decided to turn to specialists assignment help. I am sure that they will do everything perfectly. This research work is too important for me to pass it with mistakes.
