IB 2012 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Does intext citation count for the wordcount? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dessskris Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 yes they do count if you put them in the body of the essay, but for EEs you're allowed to put the in text citations as footnotes so they won't count in the word count in case if you have so many citations and are over the limit Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootingStars Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Nope, it doesn't count, even if it is in the body. Btw, by in text citation I'm assuming you mean using (Author Page #) throughout the essay? I would really advise you to use footnotes instead, because they're much easier when you're finding the word count again and again as you edit your essay.

dessskris Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Nope, it doesn't count, even if it is in the body. our EE coordinator (who introduced to us how to do citations) told us in text citations are counted Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
