What is an annotated bibliography, How to write one

[@yingyusen]

Feel better when I know that I am not the only one who worries about how to write an annotated bibliography.

[@DrChrisCopeland]

No worries! You got this!!

[@jamilarichards9790]

Whilst I love AI, this is why human touch can never be truly taken away by AI. Thank you.

[@DrChrisCopeland]

I'm so glad you found it helpful!

[@Tbwri.Demi1st]

Thank you Chris! I'm currently taking my first online class and have been asked to do this. I had no clue how to go about it until I watched your video. There's no way I could have done it without you. Thank you again.

[@ratibaak8937]

Thank you .It has never been explained to me before.We just have been asked to do it.I had no clue .

[@TheSolsector]

First I learned Mendeley from those three videos you have. I am taking my undergrad thesis after it's overdue by 22 years so I really needed help on these annotations, bibliography, APA and ultimately - Mendeley! Lol. Thank you Chris!

[@dinora5511]

I love how you explained how to write this step by step. Thank you so much!

thank you!!!! my professor wanted the class to do an annotated bibliography and i was so confused on how to write one, he didn't go over how to write one so thank you so much!

[@simeticakautawake4513]

Thank you so very much! I didn't know how to begin with at first, what was I to say or write about the annotations of my little script I had written out and to answer the questions given by my Lecturer. I was stuck, had no clue at all, but after going through your easy to understand introduction, it's so helpful and made me understand. So on point and thorough...Many Thanks Dr. Copeland

[@ssolano1302]

Yes, it is very helpful! Thank you for taking the time to show an example and providing us those basic questions that an annotated bibliography needs.

It's almost amazing how you can find modules that have 10 pages about annotated bibliography but still fail at teaching students how to do it. What it looks like, how it's done, where or when it can be used or applied. Just, thanks for this, Doc.

[@goradalibargun7185]

Please advise me how to use Chicago author-date system as opposed to the Chicago style alone, which does not put author's names and date first. Thanks.

[@DrChrisCopeland]

I would love to help you, but really don’t know the Chicago style at all. You can check the Mendeley website to see if someone has posted a style you can add. Other people make styles available to the public. I would start there and then reach out to mendeley support on Twitter. They are very good and responsive. Sorry I can’t be better help, but good luck and reply if you find an answer so others can find it too

How can we prepare our title page if we have three different topics on Annotated Bibliography? How can we add multiple topics and their author names on the title page? @Dr. Chris Copeland

were do you place the DOI ???

[@DrChrisCopeland]

Great question! DOI are typically optional, but if you have one, put it at the end of the citation. Here is a good example from one of the sources I used in that video: Nix, J., & Wolfe, S. E. (2016). Sensitivity to the Ferguson Effect: The role of managerial organizational justice. Journal of Criminal Justice, 47, 12-20. doi.org/10.1016/j.jcrimjus.2016.06.002 (remember the journal name is in italics. KZbin does not have markup or font style for comments)

How, do I find a thesis statement in my article?

[@kisrineosbourne2249]

How do you save all your articles in one place that you want to use for your annotated bibliography?

[@DrChrisCopeland]

I would highly recommend watching my Mendeley videos. You can find these on the "Doing Research" located at kzbin.info/aero/PLnlIwzdKlitqktV6qO9k2vEvs3FqZ49rh. I promise it's not a shameless plug for views (I do not monetize any of my academic videos). You can use Mendeley to organize and store your articles based on any number of criteria. I also use it to store the annotations and it integrates with Word.

[@kisrineosbourne2249]

@@DrChrisCopeland thank you so much.

[@catherinesilva5686]

Can we use the same source more than one time? Also, is it really fine to use dissertations from colleagues as a source? Thank you

[@DrChrisCopeland]

Yes You can use the same source multiple times, mental they will understand this and adapt the style as needed. If it is a true dissertation, one that has been defended, it is considered peer reviewed and can be used as an official source.

[@vaughnknight968]

[@trealravenel3422]

[@LuckyMMMBop]

This is very helpful, but I am still a bit confused. Is an annotated bibliography presented just by itself? Or can other items be on the same page? My professor assignment multiple things and an AB was one of them but did not specify whether or not the items had to be on separate pages.

[@DrChrisCopeland]

Typically, an annotated bibliography is presented by itself as an assignment. It is the first step in a literature review. I have a video on how to convert the ann. bib to a literature review at kzbin.info/www/bejne/joW9o41omd2Hos0

[@DrChrisCopeland]

Of course, always consult what your professor or instructor is asking for in the assignment and how they want it presented.

[@manashripatel1419]

It is very helpful, however, I still have this question that this Annotated Bibliography needs to be submitted in APA format, and hence, after completing the Annotated Bibliography does it required the conclusion at the end of the 10 annotated bibliography, a citation under the reference page?

[@DrChrisCopeland]

As with any assignment, check with your instructor, but that is a reference page and not normally included in an Annotated Bibliography. Verify with your instructor for what is required for your specific assignment. :)

[@micaellafigueroa7655]

It's a great help! Thank you!

[@hgchinake9876]

Thanks for a clear explanation.

[@alafrihat7477]

Can I use this at USYD as well?!

[@DrChrisCopeland]

Obviously, do what your instructor/professor asks for in the assignment or deliverable. That being said, this is considered the proper format for an annotated bibliography in the APA 6th ad 7th edition. You should be able to use it at any university. I hope it helps.

[@Prettyprofessor]

Thank you so much! This is very helpful.

[@DrChrisCopeland]

Excellent, I'm glad you found it useful!

[@jhendric98]

Very helpful video, thank you. My question is can you write the notes in Mendeley?

[@DrChrisCopeland]

Jim Hendricks yes in fact that is the main reason there is a notes section! To store the annotation with the citation for future use and retrieval.

[@adamboker1105]

How do I know the relevancy?

[@DrChrisCopeland]

The relevance can usually be found in the discussion section of the research article. :)
