Annotated Bibliography 10 total points

What is an Annotated Bibliography? An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and other resources. Each citation is followed by a brief descriptive and evaluative paragraph: the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited and to help you organize your materials prior to writing your research paper. Check out Purdue OWL for examples: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/614/03/ (review only the APA-style sample).

Requirements for Content: For this part of the assignment, you will create an APA-style annotated bibliography containing a minimum of ten credible sources published between 2013 and 2020.

Creating an annotated bibliography calls for the application of a variety of intellectual skills: concise writing, succinct analysis, and informed library research. You will be reviewing scholarly journal articles and other credible sources relevant to your selected topic. You will create citations for these resources using APA format. You will write concise annotations that summarize the central theme and scope of the articles. These annotations must be approximately 100-150 words and include one or more sentences that:

1. Summarize the article in your own words. DO NOT copy and paste directly from the abstract or article. This is always considered plagiarism!

2. Compare or contrast this work with others you have cited in this assignment 3. Discuss how this work relates to your selected topic 4. As you will be locating current health information, please note that your ten (minimum)

required credible sources must have been published between the years 2013-2020.

Requirements for Formatting:

• An APA-style title page must be included • Citations must be alphabetized by the last name of the first author. • Citations and annotations must be double-spaced (see APA-style sample at:
