ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY SSIGNMENT A INSTRUCTIONS
An annotated bibliography is a list of sources that includes current APA-formatted references to
the peer-reviewed articles that you have compiled for a research assignment (all articles must be
found through the Jerry Falwell Library or Google Scholar). A brief description, summary, and
evaluation of the source must follow each reference. The purpose of an annotated bibliography is
to provide the content, relevance, and quality of the sources. Each annotation must be less than
1 page.
You will provide an Annotated Bibliography of five peer-reviewed references that are relevant to
your Research Proposal Paper Assignment. At least 2 of the 5 articles must have been published
in the past 5 years; all articles must not be older than 10 years.
This assignment must be in current APA format with a title page, abstract, and references. Each
reference must include a summary, analysis, and reflection. Do not include books, book
reviews, dissertations, websites, blogs, etc.
You must include the following for each reference in your annotated bibliography:
A brief description and summary of the article: Include the population, sampling
method, at least one assessment instrument used research question (at least 1), and ,
research design. (For example: Harrichand and Knight used a convenience sample of
graduate students, they surveyed the students using the Trait Emotional Intelligence
Questionnaire Short Form (TEIQue-SF) and the Counselor Burnout Inventory (CBI), and
their research design was correlational.)
An evaluation of the source in light of your topic: Indicate how the information is
relevant to your resear . (For example: ch This research illustrates that as trait-based
emotional intelligence increases, counselor burnout decreases; this helps to make a case
for the development of an emotional intelligence training program).
Answers to the following key prompts:
o Who is the author and how are they qualified (for first credited author
only)? (For example: Dr. Stacey Lilley is a licensed professional counselor and
Director of the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Liberty University;
she is an Assistant Professor of Counseling and sees clients at Piedmont
Psychiatric.)
o Critique at least 1 assessment used: How is the assessment psychometrically
sound? Make sure to highlight the details of the properties. (For example: The
TEIQue-SF was used and the reliability was established via the test-retest
procedure and was R=.89 which is considered…)
o Include a brief discussion of implications: Discussion in terms of how this
article is relevant to establishing a need for your emerging research
question/research study (For example: Harrichand, Knight & Captari (2017) .
indicate that emotional intelligence trainings should be developed and assessed to
see if participation can help increase Emotional intelligence (EI) and decrease
counselor burnout. Thus my research question is examining whether counseling
students EI increases after participation…)
