Annotated Bibliography
 Annotation is the process by which you emphasize
important information in a document
 You create annotated bibliography to help organize
thoughts and gain familiarity with research material
 Ensures that the sources you are using are relevant and
will benefit you during the research process
What Does An Annotated
Bibliography Do?
 A good annotated bibliography
encourages you to think critically about
the content of the works you are using,
and their relation to your own research
and ideas.
 Proves you have read and understand
your sources.
 Establishes your work as a valid source
and you as a competent researcher.
 Provides a way for others to decide
whether a source will be helpful to their
research if they read it.
How to Make Your Annotated
Bibliography
1. Prepare a Works Cited entry following an
established format (APA)
2. Evaluate credibility of author/source
3. Compose a short summary of the article
4. Analysis of source using CRAPP test.
Discuss how helpful this source will be to
your research and why.
Refer to the handout for more information.
Proper APA documentation (works
cited)
Please refer to OWL, and write a
correct works cited entry. DO NOT
rely on a generator such as
“easybib.com” or what is provided
for you in the data bases, which is
often incorrect.
Source Credibility (Ethos)
Information about the author (or
publication if there is no stated author).
Why is this person or publication qualified?
Example- with author
 Source Credibility: Ming Ming Chiu is a Charles R. Hicks
Professor of Educational Psychology and Research
Methodology. He studies the conversations and
interactions between students in classrooms. From
these observations, he gathers data regarding
teachers' and classmates' social metacognitive
processes and their affect on conversations in the
classroom. Chiu’s studies and research has found that
greater economic inequality among students widens
the mathematics achievement gap among the
richest and the poorest students.
Example – Publication with
no stated author
 Source Credibility: NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in
Pasadena, California is managed by the California
Institute of Technology under a contract that has
been renewed every five years since 1958. As NASA’s
only Federally Funded Research and Development
Center (FFRDC), it is dedicated to the robotic
exploration of space.
Summary
 One single-spaced paragraph which
addresses all major points in the source.
Identify the primary thesis in the article,
its purpose and major idea, before you
summarize the content.
example
 Summary: As a press release to various media sources, this article
serves to inform news outlets about NASA’s technology, FINDER,
that recently aided in the rescue of individuals after a natural
disaster and persuade them to go the Virginia Task Force One
Training Facility to see the demonstration of FINDER. Created in
junction by the Department of Homeland Security’sDirectorate
and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the device “Finding
Individuals for Disasters and Emergency Response” (FINDER)
features radar-technology in order to detect even the most
miniscule of human heartbeats and movements through massive
quantities of rubble. Following the earthquake in Nepal early this
year, teams of rescuers were deployed along with
prototypeFINDER devices, and with it, they saved four men
trapped underneath the rubble. This device will be debuting in
commercial enterprise after the demonstration of FINDER on May
7.
Significance/Analysis
 How can you use this research in your paper?
 Source Evaluation/CRAPP Test: Address bias,
accuracy, date of publication, etc.
example
 Analysis: Although this source is credible, the particular article’s
purpose may just be to attract newspapers and other media outlets
to participate and attend the demonstration of FINDER that was held
in VA. Because the demonstration was also created to announce
FINDER’s transition into the commercial market, the attention the
media would attract from around the world would inspire consumers,
like rescue teams, to buy the product, resulting in a personal gain for
bothNASA and the DHS. However, this does not deter from the
accuracy of the information that was released. It was created very
recently, in May 2015, almost directly after the rescue of the four men.
My topic concerns federal budgets and whether they should be
focused more towardsNASA and space exploration, or towards the
domestic issues on Earth. This article relates because it is about a
piece of technology created by NASA that has actually aided with
threatening situations on Earth, showing that space technology is also
relevant here. Because theJPL is federally funded, the information is
accurate; the website is also a .gov link. I can use this information
because it contains facts about the function of FINDER device and
how it has helped to rescue four lives in the case of an earthquake.
This can be utilized in my argument by saying that this single device is
negligible compared to the great sum of money NASA has
collectively spent without a practical set of results (which is supported
by another one of my sources).
