An annotated bibliography is a very important tool for collecting and keeping track of your sources. You will reference at least 25 sources in an article for publication. To decide which 25 to use you will have had to read over 100. You need to figure out a way to keep track of those 100+ articles, and the annotated bibliography is the tool for that. With that in mind, think of the annotation as notes to yourself, so that if it has been two years since you read the article, you can scan your AnnBib and refresh your memory with your notes. Then you can quickly decide whether it would be useful to reread the article for this year’s project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Bibliography<\/strong>” refers to the collection of references. The references should be kept in whatever reference format is used most often in your field. Information on citations formats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “Annotation” <\/strong>refers to your notes on the content. The Annotation should have two parts: the summary <\/strong>and the evaluation<\/strong>. Annotations vary greatly in length depending on the purpose of the writer. Sometimes they are one sentence and sometimes a page. Usually, it is easier for you if you write a longer summary and a shorter evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
