how do you write an annotated bibliography?
363515
Check with your instructor to determine which documentation style is required for your class: APA, MLA, Chicago/Turabian, CBE, Numbered References, APSA, etc.\n\nThen, remember that the bibliography is an organized list of sources used. The annotation may immediately follow the bibliographic information on the same line, or it may begin on a new line, two lines below the publication information.\n\nBut, since style manuals differ, check with your instructor about which one to use concerning form, spacing, and consistency.\n\nIf you are using APA documentation, the Writing Center offers a short class called "According to APA...".\n\nBelow are some of the most common forms of annotated bibliographies. Click on a link to see examples of each.\nIndicative \n\nThis form of annotation defines the scope of the source, lists the significant topics included, and tells what the source is about.\n\nThis type is different from the informative entry in that the informative entry gives actual information about its source.\n\nIn the indicative entry there is no attempt to give actual data such as hypotheses, proofs, etc. Generally, only topics or chapter titles are included.\n\nExample\nInformative \n\nSimply put, this form of annotation is a summary of the source.\n\nTo write it, begin by writing the thesis; then develop it with the argument or hypothesis, list the proofs, and state the conclusion.\n\nExample\nEvaluative \n\nIn this form of annotation you need to assess the source's strengths and weaknesses.\n\nYou get to say why the source is interesting or helpful to you, or why it is not. In doing this you should list what kind of and how much information is given; in short, evaluate the source's usefulness.\n\nExample\n\nCombination \n\nMost annotated bibliographies are of this type.\n\nThey contain one or two sentences summarizing or describing content and one or two sentences providing an evaluation.\n\nThe most important thing to understand is that entries should be brief.\n\nOnly directly significant details will be mentioned and any information apparent in the title can be omitted from the annotation.\n\nIn addition, background materials and references to previous work by the same author usually are not included.\n\nListed below are three writing styles used in annotated bibliographies. Click on a link to see examples of each.\n\nTelegraphic\n\n(phrases, non-sentences)\n\n\nGet the information out, quickly and concisely. Be clear, but complete and grammatically correct sentences are unnecessary..\n\nExample\n\nComplete sentences\n\n\nIn this style you must always use complete sentences.\n\nThe length of the sentences varies. Subjects and conjunctions are not eliminated even though the tone may be terse. Avoid long and complex sentences.\n\nExample\n\nParagraph\n\n\nWhen using this form of annotation, you must write a full, coherent paragraph.\n\nSometimes this can be similar to the form of a bibliographic essay. It goes without saying that you need to use complete sentences.\n\nIf you have additional questions, ask your course instructor or consider scheduling an appointment with a Writing Center instructor.\n\nThe Writing Center also has information on different documentation systems, such as MLA, APA, Chicago/Turabian, CBE, Numbered References, and APSA styles of citation.\n\nIf you are using APA documentation, you are in luck!

A bibliography is a list, either indicative or comprehensive, of works:\n\n    * author\n    * date\n    * subject\n    * country or state\n    * published in a specified period\n    * mentioned in, or relevant to, a particular work (a bibliography of this type, sometimes called a reference list should normally appear at the end of any paper in scientific literature)

A bit vague, so here is all that I have.\n\nLinks for writing a scientific paper\n\nhttp://www.liu.edu/cwis/cwp/library/workshop/citation.htm\n\nThe APA Wizard is designed to help you create an APA (5th ed.) citation.  It will take you through the steps for the most common types of cited works providing you with assistance on how to input specific information.  As long as you enter the information correctly, the Wizard will result in a correct APA citation.\n\nhttp://www.stylewizard.com/\n\nhttp://www.apa.org/\n\nhttp://www.liu.edu/CWIS/CWP/library/workshop/citapa.htm\n\nhttp://www.psywww.com/resource/APA%20Research%20Style%20Crib%20Sheet.htm#Pages\n\nhttp://www.apastyle.org/elecref.html\n\nhttp://www.apastyle.org/previoustips.html\n\nhttp://www.indiana.edu/%7elibugls/Publications/APA.html\n\nhttp://www.apastyle.org/elecref.html\n\nhttp://www.aug.edu/writing_center/docs/apachecklist.htm\n\nhttp://www.citationmachine.net/index.php?new_style=2#here\n\nhttp://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/\n\nhttp://www.lib.wsc.ma.edu/citation.htm\n\nhttp://www.st.ewi.tudelft.nl/~mathijs/writinglinks.html\n\nhttp://chronicle.com/jobs/99/11/99111902c.htm\n\nCitation Style for Research Papers\n\nhttp://www.liu.edu/CWIS/CWP/library/workshop/citation.htm\n\nCiting Sources \n\nCiting  ppl. noting the source of a quote, paraphrase, or idea as an authority or proof.\n\nCiting is the process of giving credit to the sources you used to write your paper. Citations can be located in the text or at the end of the work in a bibliography. It can be difficult to figure out what needs to be credited. \n\nUse this rule of thumb: If you knew a piece of information before you started doing research, generally you do not need to credit it. You also do not need to cite well-known facts, such as dates, which can be found in many encyclopedias. All other information such as quotations, statistics, and ideas should always be cited in your papers. \n\nhttp://www.liu.edu/CWIS/CWP/library/workbook/evaluate.htm#citing\n\nCitation Style for Research Papers\n\nAPA    Turabian    MLA    Chicago    AMA \n\nhttp://www.lib.wsc.ma.edu/citation.htm\n\nhttp://www.leeogle.org/byron/bhs/library/citing.htm\n\nhttp://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/557/01/\n\nhttp://www.liu.edu/cwis/cwp/library/workshop/citation.htm\n\nhttp://www.citationmachine.net/\n\nhttp://www.unc.edu/depts/wcweb/handouts/mla.html\n\nhttp://www-navigator.utah.edu/module3/mla.htm\n\nhttp://www.bedfordstmartins.com/online/cite5.html\n\nhttp://www.library.cornell.edu/newhelp/res_strategy/citing/mla.html\n\nGood luck\n\nKevin, Liverpool, England.

It depends upon what citation style you are using.  Try the link below for generating citations.

According to MLA guidlines, you must include all sources of quoted or cited material in your works cited page.\n\n"For MLA papers, the list of sources from which you have cited information is called the Works Cited. (Other documentation styles differ from MLA in how they arrange and name their reference lists.)\n\n"When you are ready to produce your final draft, eliminate from your working bibliography the cards for the items you have not cited.  Arrange the remaining cards in alphabetical order by authors' last names.  If you do not use cards, number your list or have the computer sort it alphabetically.  You are now ready to prepare the list of works cited that will conclude your paper.  As you make your final revisions, check your citations against this list to ensure that they are complete and correct."

There are two main styles listed by the APA and MLA for listing bibliographies. The person your writing for may have a preference for which style to use. See the link I listed as a source for different style examples.

Hi. Use the author's name as well. You might refer to an outside source at some point and then you would have to go back and add the author's name to all the citations. \n\n;-D Prepare for the unexpected!

This is a great website to try.... it will make the bibliography for you if you just fill in the information.

Hi\n\nI think this question has been asked before, however I would suggest you tried Inflight Referencer at http://bibliography.inflightTM.com or http://www.inflightTM.com/ref -Both web addresses take you to the same place.\n\nThere is also software from the APA, however it's quite clunky and not as user friendly. Referencer seems to be the most easiest to use and does a good job of managing your research references, plus it does Harvard and custom styles as well.\n\nGood luck and peace.

You write and arrange the bibliographic entries (citations) just as you would any other bibliography. This is usually arranged alphabetically by the first word, which is typically the author’s last name. Your instructor may have their own style that they prefer that you use and there are a number of crib sheets (both on the Internet and in print form) with the popular styles, such as APA, MLA, Chicago, CBE, etc. The annotation may then immediately follow the bibliographic information or may skip one or two lines depending on the style manual that is used. Remember to be brief and include only directly significant information and write in an efficient manner. \n\nFollowing are two examples of what an APA annotated bibliography may look like.\n\n'Keefe, F. J., (1996) Pain in arthritis and musculoskeletal disorders. Journal of Orthopedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 2, :279-290.\n\nI got all the facts about exercising with arthritis and the different types of exercise from this source. The author is very readable and includes a detailed bibliography.'\n\n'Sewell, W. (1989). Weaving a program: Literate programming in WEB. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold.\n\nSewell explains the code language within these pages including certain lines of code as examples. One useful idea that Sewell uses is to explain characters and how they work in the programming of a Web Page. He also goes through and describes how to make lists and a title section. This will be very useful because all Web Pages have a title section. This author also introduces Pascal which I am not sure if I will include in my manual but after I read more about it I can decide whether this will be helpful to future users. This book will not be the basis of my manual but will add some key points, which are described above.'

There are two common ways:\n1. At the bottom of the page, define the term.\n2. If it's a key word, you can define it after the abstract and before the introduction part.\n\nBut it really depends on which research field you're at.You should look at a research journal before you write the paper.

a bibliography is a list of all the sources you referenced in your writing, whether or not you actually quoted them or not. a works cited is a list of all the sources you actually quoted in your writing. the format should be the same, but it depends on what you are supposed to use. There is MLA format, or APA. These two styles depend on how you actually cite the information in the paper itself. \nDepending on what you need to use, there's www.apastyle.net, or http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/research/r_mla.html for MLA.

Perhaps you might be referring to a bibliographic annotation.\n\nThese are bibliographies (lists of books and articles consulted) with a couple of paragraphs of summary (and sometimes analysis) after each title. \n\nWhen I have students compose annotations for their bibliographies, I ask them to write one paragraph summarizing the content of the book or article, and a second paragraph outlining the relevance of that source for their research.\n\nAnnotated bibliographies help a student narrow down relevant sources, and serve as their first source of general notes to draw from when writing a research paper.
