To what extent does the type of government affect the economic development of a country?

Below is a checklist for referencing and evaluation of sources. Those of you who are near the word count
limit should focus on this, but all should pay attention:
 Have you acknowledged all your sources? Every idea and opinion, not just every fact, should be
referenced.
 Have you kept your bibliography up to date? Every source mentioned in the text must have a full
reference in the bibliography.
 Are your in-text references and bibliography entry *consistent*? The name used in the reference
in the body must be exactly the same as the name used at the front of the reference in the
bibliography.
 Are all your references in Chicago format? Do not rely entirely on mybib to create the Chicago
reference for you: it is only a computer program and does make mistakes, so check the source
itself to make sure the author name and date are or are not provided.
 Are your in-text references inside a sentence, so that the full stop appears after the reference and
not before?
 Is your bibliography in alphabetical order? Make it easy for the reader to look up your sources.
Below are three further tips on using and evaluating sources:
 Have you supported your main sources with minor sources? One good place to look for support is
in the list of references given at the end of your main source (if your source does not have a list of
references, that is a weakness – you can use articles that have no references but acknowledge that
they are not as reliable or credible and do not make them your main source).
 Have you challenged your sources with other sources? As you present competing perspectives, the
sources for one will challenge the sources in the other, and you should highlight this.
 Have you compared and evaluated your competing perspectives? This includes comparing the
strengths and weaknesses of the arguments, the evidence, and the sources themselves (e.g. bias,
one-sidedness, consideration of counter-arguments or evidence, relevance, ability to see, not
being outdated, sample size, and so on). Make sure to follow this rules, subheadings should not be present, there should be paragraphs for introduction which needs to be very strong, key points, global and local perspective (Romania), a very strong conculsion, use in text references (name, date). Make sure there is NO AI or Plagiarism.
