The annotated bibliography is a list of sources (in this case, academic/scholarly journal articles), each of which is followed by an annotation or a brief description of the source.
To see a sample bibliography for reference, view attached file: “sample annotated bib.rtf”
Four of the five sources you employ for the assignment MUST come from communication journals. All the articles MUST be research studies. Do not use theoretical essays or meta-analyses. If you have questions about whether or not an article is appropriate for the assignment, don’t hesitate to ask one of the instructors.
In addition to helping you to create a literature review, the assignment is designed to increase your familiarity and comfort with APA style. Specifically, each source should be cited using APA style. The entries should be arranged alphabetically by lead authors’ last names. After each citation, include a brief 3-4 sentence description of the article. After the summary please provide one sentence that explains how this article will help you answer your RQ. The brief description should address the topic of the article and its findings. Also include a sentence about how this article might contribute to your literature review.
