Research Paper: Annotated Bibliography Assignment Instructions

Overview

At this point in your research, you should have identified several articles. It is practical at this early stage in your research to provide an Annotated Bibliography.

The annotated bibliography is exactly as the name says implies—a bibliography that includes summary comments about each resource.

An  annotation is a summary/evaluation.

A  bibliography is a list of sources (books, journals, Web sites, periodicals, etc.) one has used for researching a topic. A bibliography usually just includes the bibliographic information (i.e., the author, title, publisher, etc.).

Therefore, an annotated bibliography includes a summary/evaluation of each of the sources.

Instructions

First, and maybe most important, the Research Paper: Annotated Bibliography Template has been provided in your course shell. Use that template. Students who chose another template often miss the gradable items that are built into the templates provided in the course shell.

You must maintain the format and organization of the provided template to create your document. The template exhibits the proper APA format; just make sure you keep it. You will see yellow highlighted text in the template. These provide comments on content required or on the format. You must delete all yellow highlights and add your own work.

Your paper must be at least 6 pages (not including the Cover page and reference page). The research may include figures, tables, or diagrams, but these items (as well) are not included in the page count.

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
