  • 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.
