Research Paper: Annotated Bibliography Assignment Instructions
Overview
The foundation for sound scholarship is a solid command of the academic literature in your field. A scholar builds this foundation by reading and evaluating one academic source at a time.
Over time, you will read many, many sources. It is vitally important for you to keep a record of what you have read, along with important annotations so that you remember how each source is relevant to your research. These citation records include:
Basic bibliographic details: Author, Title, Publication Name, Date, Page Numbers.
A brief summary of the source: What was the key argument? What were its strengths or weaknesses? Was anything in the piece applicable to your future research? Book your online assignment help today!
Tags or Keywords: You should consider how to organize your sources so that you can easily recall sources that are relevant to various research projects you may be managing, and sources that are relevant to different parts of a research project.
This Research Paper: Annotated Bibliography Assignment will introduce you to the process of identifying, recording, and annotating sources for later use. It will also introduce you to a citation management tool called RefWorks that is available to all Liberty University students. A link to RefWorks is included in the assignment prompt for Research Paper: Annotated Bibliography Assignment.
NOTE: If you are already accustomed to using another citation manager, you are not required to use RefWorks, but you are strongly encouraged to do so.
