Why Using APA or IEEE Style Format?
During the creation of your extended essay, it’s essential that you submit and create a clear and up-to-date reseach project. This cannot be only done by researching or developing your topics.
Instead, it is fundamental that we get to follow a pre-defined set of rules that affect your final version of the document. This parameters must be adjusted, specially, for a better readability and a better structure.
In the next sections, you will find a series of tasks that you must perform on your document so that it gets adjusted to APA1 7th edition. Tick the box if you followed the suggestion (Doing so leads to a better EE).
[⚠️ TIP] These are only suggestions. You can follow other formatting styles.
