Annotated Bibliography for Research Papers

Today, we will be working with finding additional sources for our research papers.

First, find three sources that meet the guidelines we identified. 

  • One needs to be an article from a newspaper, magazine, or journal 
    • Periodical publications create new content on a regular basis; they are not intended to store basic content over time.
  • One needs to be a website of an organization dealing with this issue
    • Semi-permanent source of information on the topic. These generally have introductory material supplemented with coverage of recent developments or publication of research reports
  • One needs to be a report or document (government, research, ngo)

Next, create an MLA format bibliographic citation of each source. 



Then, in the annotations section of the citation, describe

  1. The professional or personal credibility of your source
  2. The type of evidence or information provided by the source
  3. How this info. is relevant to your discussion
