Sample Annotation
Annotated Bibliographies
An annotated bibliography is list of references sources (scholarly articles, books, websites, reports, etc.) on a topic or research area that contains a summary and evaluation for each listed document.
The “annotation” part pertains to the write-up produced for each source.
One approach is to use the APA empirical research article format as a tool to evaluate an article's content. Scholarly articles that present original research (empirical) will have the following structure:
- Abstract
- Introduction (literature review)
- Methodology (research method used)
- Results (data analysis, statistics)
- Discussion (significance of the study)
- References (list of sources used)
