These sources have already been tested for validity and through being published have been deemed both accurate and valid. While quantity of research is certainly an important factor, what is equally important is the quality of your research, while sites such as Wikipedia have their uses, the vast majority of your references and citations should stem from academic or medical journals, published medical documents, or medical/biological studies. As a general rule of thumb, within your SEHS IA you should NEVER make any scientific claim or interjection of knowledge without sourcing it through a citation or drawing it from your own results (calculations, qualitative observations etc.).Īs such it is entirely possible for your SEHS IA to have upwards of 75 references and your IA will be strengthened by each and every reference made. I cannot overstate the importance of research in your SEHS IA. The SEHS IA relies very heavily on your capability to synthesise research into citations which support your IA, thereby lending it validity. While I would encourage research into surrounding information of your IA to better develop your knowledge of the topic, for an SEHS IA to score high marks it is integral that all the information presented is relevant and specific both to your research question and to the requirements of the marking criteria. With an IA such as SEHS which is rooted so deeply in research and empirical evidence it is often easy to drift away from the marking criteria in somewhat tangential sections of your IA.
