Annotated Bibliography

/in /by

The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate progress in
compiling research and to indicate a methodology for organizing research
sources.

Recommended: Before you begin, review chapters 4 – 6 in A Pocket Style Manual (APA).

Include the following in your annotated bibliography:

  • APA citations and annotations for four (4) sources you deem relevant to your problem statement (thesis).

For each source:

  • Cite the source in proper APA format. The citations should
    be organized in alphabetical order by author as in an APA References
    page.
  • Follow with a brief annotation that summarizes the source (approximately 3 – 5 sentences). You may quote from the source, but do not copy and paste from the abstract.
  • In 1 or 2 sentences, explain
    and evaluate the source’s relevance and significance to your hypothesis.
    Does this support or discredit your hypothesis?
  • Use an academic tone and style.
