An Annotated Bibliography is a list of sources that include annotations of each source. Each annotation is made up of three parts:

  1. Citation: this is in either APA or MLA format; you include one citation for each source you found in your research
  2. Summary: a short summary of what is included in your source, which may be composed of the reasoning behind their research, research methods, and conclusions reached
  3. Evaluation: a short evaluation of the source from your point of view; would you be able to use it for your paper? Why or why not?
