HOW TO FORMAT AN IB PAPER

Formatting an IB paper depends heavily on both your institution and the specific international baccalaureate conventions that it is using. Because there are different accreditation organizations for IB schools, you must absolutely follow the specific style guide that has been provided to you by your school or institution. While many IB papers require the use of Harvard or Chicago style, other IB papers require unique referencing and formatting styles that are exclusive to the institution that you are writing the paper for. IB programs and schools tend to be very punitive if you break the style and formatting that has been prescribed for writing your IB Paper. In writing your IB paper, you should thus consult your IB paper supervisor and the style guide extensively to ensure that you are maintaining congruence with the formatting and referencing standards which your IB institution wants you to use.
