What is an Annotated Bibliography
An organised list of citations/references
Each has a brief annotation of 100-250 words
The annotation provides a description of the citation
The annotation provides an evaluation (Could use a tool for this purpose)
Example
What is included?
Complete bibliographic information
The main focus and purpose of the work
The intended audience? (e.g. professionals, academics, the general public)
The special features such as tables, charts, glossary, which are helpful for understanding (reflect on the chosen methodology)
Author’s background and credibility (e.g. qualifications, affiliations, profession)
The relationship to other studies, including the detail of the author’s own bibliography
Conclusions reached (are the appropriate and consistent?)
A critical review may also include:
An overview/assessment of the usefulness of the source
Relevance to the aim/objectives you are looking to respond to
Evaluative comparison with other sources
Reliability or bias of the literature
Your own evaluation, conclusions, or observations regarding the source
Purpose of annotated bibliography
To show, and summarise, a critical understanding of the literature
To show the thought process which has informed your literature review in terms of collecting the journals and being consistent in the review of each
To assess the understanding of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the journal papers
To create a record which can then be used for the literature review
