How do I write an annotated bibliography?

To write an annotated bibliography, you need to:

• Choose your sources: Decide on the topic and research the relevant sources.
• Cite your sources: For each source, make sure to record the bibliographic information in the appropriate citation format such as MLA or APA.
• Write the annotation: The annotation is a summary of the source that also includes your evaluation of its credibility, relevance, and usefulness to your research.
• Organize your annotated bibliography: The annotated bibliography should be arranged in alphabetical order by author's last name or title.
• Format your annotated bibliography: The annotated bibliography should follow the same formatting guidelines as the rest of your research paper.

When writing the annotation, start with a summary of the source, including the main argument or point of the source. Then, evaluate the source's credibility, relevance, and usefulness to your research. Consider how the source adds to your understanding of the topic, and compare it to other sources on the same topic. Finally, explain how the source will be used in your research project.
