An Annotated Bibliography is the working list of sources to be used by the writer throughout the research
and writing process. Like an APA Reference List, an Annotated Bibliography is also an alphabetical
listing of the writer’s sources in APA format, but each citation is followed by a summary paragraph of
descriptive and evaluative comments. This brief summary or annotation helps the writer understand and
recall the content of the source.
The Annotated Bibliography includes all types of sources such as books, articles, reports, studies,
Internet/electronic sources, interviews, videos, and so forth. Each source is cataloged in APA format:
author(s), year of publication, title of work, location, and publisher. If the source is electronic (from the
Internet or a database), then the writer must also include the retrieval information using the URL address
of the source. Here is an example of an electronic source in APA format:
Author, A., & Second, B. (2007). Cataloging with an annotated bibliography. Writing
and Researching, 4, 100-115. Retrieved from http://www.xxxxxxxxx.xxx
Following the APA citation of each source, the writer’s annotation should address all or most of the
following:
• the primary purpose of the text (to inform or to persuade)
• the author’s thesis, supporting ideas, and conclusions
• the intended audience (Proponents or opponents? Other scholars? The general public?)
• the authority, reliability, and credibility of the author’s text
• the evidence, research methods, and supporting materials used (textual and visual)
• the significant features of the work (illustrations, appendices, cross-references)
• the strengths and weaknesses of the source, including any limitations or biases
• the significance or relationship to other sources found (compare and contrast)
• the writer’s evaluation of the source and how the source may be used in the final paper
• the significant quotes, passages, or key words that may be used in the final paper
• the corresponding page/paragraph numbers of relevant information, including important passages,
quotes, or evidence
The key to an effective Annotated Bibliography is brevity. As the writer conducts research, writing
concise annotations for each source will help the writer in several ways:
• to learn more about the topic and what issues are being debated in the sources
• to read more carefully and interact critically with the texts
• to make better judgments about the value of the sources
• to more easily compare and contrast the content of the sources
• to develop an arguable thesis statement and a quick snapshot of the main points observed in the
sources
• to save time later when creating APA citations for the source to be cited in the paper and in the
APA Reference List
