Annotated Bibliography

Name of First Article Centered Here

Author, John T. “Article Name in Quotations.” Name of the site where you found the article in Italics, www.Llink.goeshere.com. Accessed on 12 January 22.

The summary goes here. Before I go on any further, take note of the inverted format of the MLA citation above: the first line is always justified left, and the subsequent lines are indented by .5 inches. Notice how that contrasts to the proper formatting of paragraphs, like this one. Summaries should be in your own words, and should not have any direct quotes or paraphrasing. Your summary can begin with acknowledging the author, but I would prefer that you not. Doing so is done to let the reader know who the author is and what the article is, but you have already identified this. Stick to the author’s main points and thesis, and keep it under 10 sentences.

The second paragraph is the annotation - this is the analysis and evaluation. Here is where you assess the source’s credibility. Does this source come from a scholarly journal? Is the author an expert in his or her field? If the source seems less credible, then what has convinced you to use or not it? Don’t be afraid to say you won’t use a source, just explain why. Does the source prove a specific point in your paper, or are you arguing against the article? Finally, explain if the article is effective and how it relates to your other sources (is it arguing for or against your other sources?) and how you plan to use it (are you relying on it mostly for certain information, and if so, what information is that? How will this article help you?).
