Assignment: Annotated Bibliography
The purpose of the annotated bibliography is to assist you in developing research analysis skills, including critical thinking and writing. The annotated bibliography should include the following information for each source:
1. Name of the article, including the complete bibliographic citation, using APA format
2. Summary/abstract of the article-annotation. Sometimes it is helpful to ask yourself the following questions in synthesizing the information:
o Who? (author)
o What was done? (e.g., an experimental study investigating the interaction of short-term memory and attention)
o How? (was it done)
o What were the findings? (identify the major ones)
o Contributions? (new findings, applications, etc.)
To conduct accurate research for the annotated bibliographies consider the following:
1. Research in peer-reviewed journals or other journals that are considered to have reliable information. (Do not use sources from the secular press, i.e., Time, Newsweek, or Wikipedia.)
2. You need at least six articles from professional scholarly journals, three of which come from the Ashford University Library. If you do find something on the World Wide Web, it must be authored and be a reliable source.
3. 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 (as in many journals you find through the Ashford University Library).
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
3. Also Include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
