PTSD IN SOLDIERS
What is it?
Simply, an annotated bibliography is an article summary. However, annotated bibliographies provide you with a wealth of information.
• As you continue in your program, you will continue to conduct research. By doing annotations, you can easily group the research by topic/theme/etc.
• By doing annotations, you can quickly find research that you may need for an homework throughout your entire graduate program.
• By doing annotations, you can begin to identify areas of interest, as well as lack of interest, to focus on for your final thesis paper.
• By doing annotations, you can also begin to identify areas that are missing (i.e., gaps in the research) or under-researched.
The summary should draw upon the points used in the Week 2 Article Analysis homework:
1. What did the author(s) hope to find (e.g., goals, objective, purpose, hypothesis, research questions)? What did the author(s) actually find (e.g., results, discoveries)?
2. What investigative method(s) (e.g., qualitative research study, quantitative research study, review of research) did the author(s) use?
3. How were data compiled, analyzed, and interpreted (e.g., methodology)?
4. As presented by the author(s) (e.g., discussion, conclusion), what do the results mean? What are the implications of the results?
5. What limitations were identified?
In short, the summary should be comprehensive enough that anyone should be able to read it and understand the "point" of the research.
