Annotated Bibliography
The purpose of the annotated bibliography is to assist you
in developing research analysis skills including critical thinking, writing,
and literature research skills. The annotated bibliography should include a
paragraph for each source containing the following information: Name of the
article, including the complete bibliographic citation, using APA format.
Summary/abstract of the article – annotation (sometimes it is helpful to ask
yourself the following questions in synthesizing the information: Who? (author)
What was done? (e.g., an experimental study investigating the interaction of
short term memory and attention) How? (was it done) What were the findings?
(identify the major ones) Contributions? (new findings, applications, etc.)
Review the complete instructions for the Final Paper in Week Five. To conduct
accurate research for the annotated bibliography, consider the following:
Research in peer-reviewed journals or other journals that are considered to
have reliable information (do not use sources from the secular press (e.g.,
Time, Newsweek, or Wikipedia). Review the guidelines for acceptable sources by
reading the “Academic Research” section within the Student Responsibilities and
Policies tab under Course Home on the left navigation toolbar in your online
course. Identify at least ten academic sources at least six of which can be
found in the Ashford Online Library. If you do find something on the World Wide
Web, it must be authored and be a reliable source. In these journals, the
research and information is either reviewed by an editorial team (such as for
the Academy of Management Review) or a group of peers (such as in many journals
you find through the Ashford Online Library). For information regarding the
annotated bibliography, refer to the Sample Annotated Bibliography found in the
Ashford Writing Center within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation
toolbar.
You must use at least ten scholarly sources (at least six of
which can be found in the Ashford Online Library) other than the textbook. The
descriptions for each source must be at least one paragraph in length. For
information regarding APA samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing
Center, within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar.
