Annotated Bibliography

Begin organizing the research and topics for your project using an annotated bibliography. The format of the annotated bibliography is a referene to the article, formatted per APA 7th edition, and an annotation or summary of the article. The summary should include important topics and how the topic relates to your research. Your annotations should cover three areas (typically formatted in three paragraphs):

• Summary: What did the author do? Why? What did he/she find?


• Analysis: Was the author's method sound? What information was missing? Is this a scholarly source?


• Application: Does this article fill a gap in the literature? How would you be able to apply this method/study to yoru study? Is the article universal?

Writing annotated bibliographies will help you develop the skills to critically read and identify key points within an article. This will help you determine the validity and usefulness of the articles in relation to your research topic.
