Annotated Bibliography guidance

This assignment requires you to write an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography is a list of citations from various sources (bibliography), that is arranged

in alphabetical order. These sources might include books, peer reviewed journals,

websites, or documents. The sources selected MUST have academic rigor.

Each citation is followed by an account of the information from the source, this is an

annotation. The purpose of your annotation is to identify contemporary sources of

information (within the last 5 – 10 years), which demonstrate your understanding of

the question posed below. You should aim to provide a comprehensive and focused

account of discussions around the topic identified.

You are required to include FIVE citations in your annotated bibliography. Each

citation should follow the format below:

• Cite: Provide a citation that follows either APA or AU Harvard referencing

format (select the formatting appropriate to your programme of study)

• Signpost: Your first sentence should identify the type of source being

annotated and the main aim(s)/hypothesis(es) of this source.

• Summarise: Consider the main arguments that are being presented in the

source. You should be paraphrasing the information you have read. DO NOT

simply copy and paste the abstract.

• Evaluate: Consider the accuracy and validity of the source by discussing as

many of the following topics that are relevant to your reading of the source:

− How convincing is the work/research

− The value of the work to the target population being studied

− The value of the work to the intended audience (e.g. research peers)

− The usefulness of the source (what does it add to your knowledge)

− How credible the author/journal/publisher is

− How this source compares with other sources in your bibliography

− Examine practical, theoretical and ethical issues associated with the use of

different methodologies

• Reflect: You need to ask how this source fits into your research. Write about

whether the source was helpful to you. Does the source help you shape your

argument in answer to the question posed (see below). Has the information

you have read in the source changed how you think about your topic?

General guidance

• You should write all annotations in the academic third person

• Each annotation should be written in continuous prose, within a series of

paragraphs (no bullet points)

• Your sources SHOULD NOT include any article studied as part of the module

• The sources can all be of one type (e.g. journals) or can consist of a variety of

source types (e.g. journals, books or websites) as long as those chosen have

academic rigoRr.
