Writing an Annotated Bibliography
What is an annotated bibliography?
This is an organized list of sources (references cited), such as books, journals, newspapers, magazines, Web Pages, etc., each of which is followed by an annotation or description of each item.
Annotations may consist of all or part of the following list of items, depending on the purpose of the bibliography:
• describe the content (focus) of the item • describe the usefulness of the item • discuss any limitations that the item may have, e.g. grade level, timeliness etc. • describe what audience the item is intended for • evaluate the methods (research) used in the item • evaluate the reliability of the item • discuss the author’s background • discuss any conclusions the author(s) may have made • describe your reaction to the item
What is the purpose of an annotated bibliography?
Depending on the assignment the annotated bibliography may serve a number of purposes. Including but not limited to:
• a review of the literature on a particular subject • illustrate the quality of research that you have done • provide examples of the types of sources available • describe other items on a topic that may be of interest to the reader • explore the subject for further research
How is an annotation different than an abstract? Abstracts are typically descriptive summaries of academic articles or other scholarly publications. Annotations are descriptive and also critical. Annotations are more likely to offer a point of view and not just describe an item.
What does an annotated bibliography look like?
You write and arrange the bibliographic entries (citations) just as you would any other bibliography. This is usually arranged alphabetically by the first word, which is typically the author’s last name. The annotation may then immediately follow the bibliographic information or may skip one or two lines depending on the style manual that is used. Remember to be brief and include only directly significant information and write in an efficient manner.

For your final project, you will be an I/O Consultant preparing to advise the manager or CEO about an issue directly relating to their organization.
You will be researching a specific topic related to I/O Psychology that would be useful and informative to a manager or CEO of a company. You will synthesize your findings from the research literature and present them as if you were advising that manager or CEO on that issue.
First you will find at least four journal articles on your chosen topic and write an annotated bibliography summarizing each article. Finally, you will then synthesize your findings in a 3 to 4-page summary paper of what you found, the pros and cons found in the research, and your recommendation to the manager or CEO concerning this issue in their organization.
For example, you could select several articles on workplace violence and write an annotated bibliography of each summarizing their main points in non-research language, including agreements and disagreements on particular findings. Next, the summary paper should explain why this particular topic is important to the workplace and how the organization’s leaders and employees can use the information. Additionally, you will make suggestions for this organization based on your research findings. The paper should be presented in a professional way, nicely formatted, free of spelling and grammatical errors, and presented in a clear and structured way.
Topic: Create a plan to reduce workplace anxiety.
Annotated Bibliography:
This bibliography should include the four research articles you will use for your paper. These articles need to be on the previously approved topic for the research summary. For each article, you need to provide.
· The citation in APA style
· A brief (no more than 1 page) summary of each article. The summary should include: The basic premise and research question of the study
· The methodology
· Results
· Conclusions
Final Project TEMPLATE –
Summary Paper:
Your paper should not simply be a summary of your articles (as you did that in the annotated bibliography). Rather, it should be geared at professionals who do not have in-depth knowledge of research, but know something about management and organizations. You could pretend you are the personnel director of a company and are presenting to a group of managers. Your summary paper should convey the information gained from the research literature in an organized way and should make an argument for why this topic is important for managers to pay attention to. Also, I would like to see you make some recommendations for action.
APA Style: All submissions must be written in APA format. Basically, this means that the references must be written in APA style, all assignments must be written in 12-point font, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins.

Goldschneider, F. K., Waite, L. J., & Witsberger, C. (1986). Non-family living
and the erosion of traditional family orientations among young adults. American Sociological Review, 51, 541-554.
The authors, researchers at the Rand Corporation and Brown University, use data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Young Women and Young Men to test their hypothesis that non-family living by young adults alters their attitudes, values, plans, and expectations, moving them away from their belief in traditional sex roles (Goldschneider et al., 1986). They find their hypothesis strongly supported in young females, while the effects were fewer in studies of young males. Increasing the time away from parents before marrying increased individualism, self-sufficiency, and changes in attitudes about families. In contrast, an earlier study by Williams shows no significant gender differences in sex role attitudes as a result of non-family living (Goldschneider et al., 1986).
Sewell, W. (1989). Weaving a program: Literate programming in WEB.
Van Nostrand Reinhold.
Sewell explains the code language within these pages including certain lines of code as examples (Sewell, 1989). One useful idea that Sewell uses is to explain characters and how they work in the programming of a Web Page. He also goes through and describes how to make lists and a title section (Sewell, 1989). This will be very useful because all Web Pages have a title section. This author also introduces Pascal and I can decide whether this will be helpful to future users. This book will not be the basis of my manual but will add some key points, which are described above (Sewell, 1989).
