Annotated Bibliography Checklist
Title (related to your topic + “an annotated bibliography”, for example, “How
international students deal with homesickness: An annotated bibliography”)
Research question(s)
1-2 paragraph overview of your topic (what it is, why you chose it, what you have
learned about it so far from your sources, how you plan on answering your research
question, etc.)
Entries for all of the sources you have chosen for your lit review. Each entry should have
the following:
A full APA citation
An annotation that does the following:
Summarize the author’s main thesis/argument.
Explain how the author develops or supports the thesis/argument.
Describe the author’s purpose for writing, the intended audience, and
the relationship the author establishes with that audience.
Examine issues of audience and purpose (these are essential to writing
descriptions that analyze rather than summarize the content of a source,
which will be essential when we get to our literature reviews).
Explain relevance of source to your research purpose.
Entries should be organized in alphabetical order by the first item in the citation (usually
the first author’s last name)
AB should be formatted correctly:
Spaces between entries
Hanging indents for citations
