Annotated Bibliography
What is an Annotated Bibliography?
The annotated bibliography shows research that has been gathered on a particular topic, gives documentation for each item of research, and a statement, or annotation, is written about the item.
It looks very similar to a bibliography at the end of an essay – with the addition of a short paragraph after each entry.
Annotation contains summary and evaluation/analysis – it shows how the article fits into the overall thought of the project.
What is the purpose of an annotated bibliography?
Provide a literature review on a particular subject
Help to formulate a thesis on a subject
Demonstrate the research you have performed on a particular subject
Provide examples of major sources of information available on a topic
Describe items that other researchers may find of interest on a topic
