Item 2 of the Portfolio: Annotated Bibliography (due in week 4)
This week, you will submit an annotated bibliography for two (2) of your sources for the final project paper. Both sources should be scholarly (peer-reviewed) and from the APUS Library. Read the instructions for upcoming assignments so you will have a good idea of sources you might need.
Each source (listed in alphabetical order) should have a complete Works Cited or References entry for the citation style you are using, as well as an annotation, which should be a paragraph or two summarizing and evaluating the article.
Verify that the article is peer-reviewed (It will be from a scholarly journal and might be identified as a “research article” in the .pdf view. If it is an editorial, letter, opinion piece, or book review it is NOT peer-reviewed).
Summarize the article. Identify key points and demonstrate your knowledge of what you’ve read.
Include information about the author’s credentials.
Explain how this source is relevant to your essay topic.
To format your Works Cited or References entries, you may use the library cite button discussed in the week four Lessons. Include the article’s web link (the https address—not just the doi) at the end of your Works Cited entry. I would also recommend MyBib as a wonderful citation tool. Just copy and paste the citation, but be sure to proofread to catch silly mistakes that slip through the software. Examples are shown in the attached Template (which you will download) and Sample (which is attached to show you an example of what a good submission looks like).
Submit your assignment as a Word document attached to the assignment link so it can be automatically processed through Turnitin.
