APA Referencing: all figures, images and tables you use will need an in -ext citation and a reference entry (unless they are your own work, then they just need a title).
All externally assessed assignments (e.g. Extended Essay, TOK Essay) from ISZL must use APA formatting.
Internally graded assessments must use some referencing system, though they are not obligated to use APA. Your instructor may choose a less formal referencing system (e.g. Creative Commons Attribution- see box below)
There are three main components to remember when including a table or figure:
1. Refer to the table or figure in the body of your text, e.g. “As Figure 1 illustrates…” or “…as the data have shown (Figure 1).”
2. Include the table or figure number, the title of the table/figure, the image itself, and the explanatory note and reference, if applicable (see examples for further explanation).
3. Include a full reference list entry for each table or figure, if applicable.

Here is an example of an ideal attribution of a CC-licensed image: title. owner, source/location, license.
“Furggelen afterglow” by Lukas Schlagenhauf is licensed under CC BY-ND 2.0.
This is an ideal attribution because it includes the:
Title: “Furggelen afterglow”
Creator: “Lukas Schlagenhauf“—with a link to their profile page
Source/Location: “Furggelen afterglow“—with a link to the original photo on Flickr
License: “CC BY-ND 2.0”—with a link to the license deed
How you attribute authors of the CC works will depend on whether you modify the content, if you create a derivative, if there are multiple sources, etc.
