Practice citing your own Figures & Tables (especially relevant for TOK)
What if you are an IB student citing a Figure that you have made yourself?
If you are submitting documents to the IB, your EE should have NO IDENTIFYING INFORMATION. Your name should NOT be on the document.
Here is how you cite yourself without using your name for Figures:
Example:
Figure 1. Chart of Books that make me laugh. 6 July 2024. Google Sheets.
No full citation needed.
"If the photograph is not publicly accessible, you might choose to reproduce it in your paper. In this instance there is no need to credit yourself as the author of the [figure]. Unless otherwise indicated, the reader should assume that you are the author of the images included in your paper. Since the caption provides sufficient information, no works-cited-list entry is needed."
MLA - How do I credit myself as the author?
Here is how you cite yourself without using your name for Tables:
Example:
Table 1
Data collected by drone on October 24, 2024 on Hong Kong Island
| Windspeed | Groundspeed |
| 10 | 4 |
| 50 | 8 |
No full citation needed.
"If the photograph is not publicly accessible, you might choose to reproduce it in your paper. In this instance there is no need to credit yourself as the author of the [figure]. Unless otherwise indicated, the reader should assume that you are the author of the images included in your paper. Since the caption provides sufficient information, no works-cited-list entry is needed."
