An annotated bibliography is a list of related scholarly journal articles that are followed
by a brief (usually approximately 150 word) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the
annotation. The Annotated Bibliography is a list of scholarly journals and articles about
a defined and specific research topic. They are the basis from which to write larger
research papers.

An annotated bibliography is NOT an ABSTRACT. An abstract is a descriptive
summary which is found at the beginning of journal articles. Annotations are descriptive
and critical; they expose the author’s point of view, clarity and appropriateness of
expression, and authority.

The annotated bibliography summarizes the central theme and scope of the articles and
includes one or more sentences on the following:
(a) evaluate the authority or background of the author;
(b) comments on the intended audience;
(c) compares or contrast this work with another you have cited; and
(d) explain how this work illuminates the topic being studied.

The example provided includes the elements of a good annotated bibliography as each of
the components listed are clearly communicated in the annotation.
  1. Explanation of main points and/or purpose of the work—basically, its thesis—
    which shows among other things that you have read and thoroughly understand
    the source.
  2. Verification or critique of the authority or qualifications of the author.
  3. Comments on the worth, effectiveness, and usefulness of the work in terms of
    both the topic being researched and/or your own research project.
  4. The point of view or perspective from which the work was written. For instance,
    you may note whether the author seemed to have particular biases or was trying to
    reach a particular audience.
  5. Relevant links to other work done in the area, like elated sources, possibly

    including a comparison with some of those already on your list. You may want to
    establish connections to other aspects of the same argument or opposing views.

Example:

Waite, L. J., Goldschneider, F. K., & Witsberger, C. (1986). Nonfamily living and
the erosion of traditional family orientations among young adults. American
Sociological Review, 51, 541-554. 51, 541-554.

The authors, researchers at the Rand Corporation and Brown University, use data
from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Young Women and Young Men to test
their hypothesis that nonfamily living by young adults alters their attitudes,
values, plans, and expectations, moving them away from their belief in traditional
sex roles. They find their hypothesis strongly supported in young females, while
the effects were fewer in studies of young males. Increasing the time away from
parents before marrying increased individualism, self-sufficiency, and changes in
attitudes about families. In contrast, an earlier study by Williams cited below
shows no significant gender differences in sex role attitudes as a result of
nonfamily living.
