APA Format for Bibliographies

For this project, you'll be completing an "Annotated Bibliography" following the APA format.

An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents where each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 100 to 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation.

You're being asked to stop, think about your sources, and write a sentence or two about why you chose the resources you used.

Why?

  • Give credit where credit is due
  • Provide hard evidence
  • Promote originality
  • Prevent plagiarism
  • Create better researchers
