You are required to submit an annotated bibliography of the evidence that you have deemed most useful.
You need to include 6 different references chosen from a variety of sources, including scientific journals and the media, so that you include differing viewpoints on the issue. Each annotation should be no more than 250 words.
What is an annotated bibliography?
An annotated bibliography is a list of sources or citations with a brief evaluative summary (annotation) about each source. Its purpose is to describe and evaluate a full text in a way that provides sufficient information for a reader to make an informed decision about whether they are likely to benefit from reading the full text. Each article in an annotated bibliography is included separately, and includes the full source citation, followed by a one-paragraph annotation that is a summary, reflection and comment about that article.
The annotated bibliography needs to have:
- an introduction to provide the context
- an outline of search strategies utilised to identify the literature included
- a table setting out the justification for each resource chosen for inclusion based on the strength of evidence and the reliability to these sources
- a discussion
- a conclusion.
