Writing Your Annotations

An Annotated Bibliography is a list of citations to articles and other sources. Each citation is followed by a brief descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. Your annotations should follow a citation, annotation, then repeat format

For each article, read it and summarize in one paragraph, in full grammatical sentences, that includes the following:

  • Summarize the information about the species
  • Summarize the methods used in this study
  • Mention the subjects being used in the study
  • Summarize the findings of the study
  • State whether the study is of use for your project and why.

Use this Annotated Bibliography example from the UNC Chapel Hill for more help putting together your Annotated Bibliography.
