Choose The 10 Best Sources From Your Searches For Articles, Papers, And Dissertations. Focus On
Choose the 10 best sources from your searches for articles, papers, and dissertations
Focus on sources that give details about your research topic
Next, write the reference list entry (APA citation style) for each source
Alphabetize your list of reference list entries
After you have the correctly ordered list, number your entries from 1 to 10
Note: different reference entry formats are used for different types of sources
Review the UMGC Library’s ‘Get Help > Citing and Writing for samples and explanations of the formatting rules
If you are using APA format, your list should look something like the following
Authors
(date)
Article title
Publication name, vol(issue), #-#
Authors
(date)
Paper title
Published in the Proceedings of conference-name, pp
#-#
Authors
(date)
Book title
City, state (or country) of publication: Publisher
Next, write your annotations for each source in your list
In an annotated bibliography, the annotation is a paragraph or two placed under the reference list entry for each source
For this assignment, the annotation should be a combination of factual information from the source and your evaluation (opinion) of the quality and usefulness of the information; you will be combining the descriptive and analytical styles of annotations
To accomplish this, you should read the abstract, introduction section, and closing sections for each article or paper
For dissertations, look over the Introduction and the Literature Review (usually the first two chapters)
From this information, develop a short informative or descriptive summary of the source that includes: (a) a description the information provided in the source, (b) how you plan to use this source to support your analysis of your research topic, and (c) your thoughts and opinions about the utility or quality of the source
Each annotation should be approximately 100-125 words (five to seven sentences)
Place this summary after the reference list entry for the source
