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.
