Writing and Tutoring Help Answer

A:

An annotated bibliography is a kind of references list/bibliography that includes evaluative descriptions about each selected source.  These descriptions are called "annotations."

 

 

sample APA Annotated Bibliography can be found on the Purdue OWL website. Other sources of help for writing an annotated bibliography are available at https://www.lib.sfu.ca/help/cite-write/citation-style-guides/annotated-bibliography or the library's Research Basics guide.

 

Please be sure to follow examples for an APA Annotated Bibliography, as each page demonstrates multiple citation styles.
