Tips for Developing an Empirical Article List
APA recognizes a list of articles with a summary as an Annotated Bibliography. This means that you will list the formal reference for each of your chosen articles, followed by a brief annotation. An annotation is a short paragraph about the conclusions and importance of the article to your topic and to the field of social work.
Steps to Creating an Annotated Bibliography
Find sources related to your topic (check with your instructor to confirm which types of sources are acceptable for the assignment)
Critically read and evaluate the sources.
Create the proper APA citation for each source.
Below the citation write your annotation or paraphrased summary of the article.
