AI research for the IB Diploma

Sources your examiner will accept.

Research the Extended Essay, Global Politics IA, and History IA with citations to real primary sources — UN documents, treaty text, court rulings — not the web summaries that get flagged in the honesty review.

Strong primary base for an EE: the Security Council resolutions themselves (1718 through 2397) and the Panel of Experts reports that track evasion year by year.

For the effectiveness argument, pair the sanctions text with trade-flow datasets and the IAEA's reporting on continued nuclear activity.

A defensible research question narrows to one mechanism — say, the 2017 sectoral bans — rather than sanctions in general, which is too broad for 4,000 words.

How it works

One sourced workflow, start to final draft.

Real citations, not fabricated ones.

It cites actual UN resolutions, treaty text, ICJ rulings, and ministry statements — sources you can put in your bibliography without an honesty-policy concern.

Questions

What you’re wondering.

Using it as a research tool — to find sources, understand context, and structure thinking — is allowed under the IB's 2023 policy, the same as Google Scholar or JSTOR. Submitting AI-generated text as your own is not. Every answer cites a real source you must verify, understand, and rewrite in your own words.
ChatGPT will confidently cite a UN resolution that does not exist, and examiners are trained to spot it. Model Diplomat cites real resolutions, treaties, and primary sources — verifiable, which is what your examiner expects.
Yes — it helps you research the political issue, find scholarly framings, identify the key actors, and surface counter-arguments. The analysis is yours.
Yes. Free credits cover enough research, country profiles, and Learn courses for most IB students to evaluate the workflow; heavier use is covered by Pro at $10/month, cancel anytime.
Take your seat at the table

The EE your examiner remembers is the one you sourced closely.

Test the question, find the primary sources, and write the essay that earns marks instead of comments about web over-reliance.
