5 pts.I have asked for an annotated bibliography in American
Psychological Association (APA) format. This is a standardized form
of academic writing. There are specific rules for making a citation
and for how it appears on paper. Generally it is a 1″ margin and
double spaced throughout. You can find guidelines on this style of
academic writing in many places including the Webster Writing
Center.I am looking for a critical/evaluative annotated bibliography.
Once you make the citation in APA format I expect you to address
the following points in your individual entries: •Main focus or
purpose of the work •Intended audience for the work •Usefulness or
relevance to your research topic (or why it did not meet your
expectations) •Special features of the work that were unique or
helpful •Background and credibility of the author •Conclusions or
observations reached by the author •Conclusions or observations
reached by youEach entry will be between 150-200 words.Dig into the library data bases to find good peer reviewed
publications as sources for your bibliography along with the
original works of leaders in the discipline. Reliance on popular or
trade magazine articles in not appropriate.I am often asked …what is a scholarly or peer reviewed
journal?When you write your annotated bibliography your reviewed
articles should come from scholarly and or peer reviewed sources.
Here is a good definition from “ABI/Inform” (one of the core
databases offered by the Eden Library for Businessman Augment. •
Scholarly Articles A publication is considered to be scholarly if
it is authored by academics for a target audience that is mainly
academic, the printed format isn’t usually a glossy magazine, and
it is published by a recognized society with academic goals and
missions. • Peer Reviewed A publication is considered to be peer
reviewed if its articles go through an official editorial process
that involves review and approval by the author’s peers (people who
are experts in the same subject area.) Most (but not all) scholarly
publications are peer reviewed.Some trade publications are actually peer reviewed, but ProQuest
does not consider them when filtering on peer reviewed. This is
because getting results from trade publications instead of academic
journals can be frustrating to researchers. Instead, ProQuest
excludes these peer reviewed trade publications and only considers
publications that are scholarly in terms of content, intent, and
audience.
