Annotative Bibliography as Kind of Work
  • Created by Essay-Academy.com

There are several types of annotative
bibliographies
  • Indicative annotation. Representation of the
    source content what it is and what are the main
    issues.
  • Evaluative annotation estimates advantages and
    disadvantages of the work what it can boast of
    and what should have been excluded.
  • Informative annotation- a summary of the work it
    names the thesis, arguments, evidence and
    conclusion.
  • Combination annotations. It is the most
    widely-used type of the bibliography that firstly
    informs the reader about the content of work and
    then evaluates it. It is both descriptive and
    critical, expressing the author's point of view
    and your attitude to the source.

Structure of the Bibliography Annotation
  • It is important to know what elements to include
    in your bibliography annotation.
  • A plan that reflects the structure of the
    annotation, may include
  • Author's proficiency
  • The aim of writing
  • The potential readers.
  • References.
  • Concluding part.

4
Structure of the Bibliography Annotation
  • Author's proficiency here you are to tell about
    the writer as the one apart from the work you
    used. What he is famous for, what about his
    experience at your subject, what position he
    takes/took and so on.
  • The aim of writing what the purpose of writing
    was, why he was interested in this issue, what he
    wanted to achieve by this work.

5
Structure of the Bibliography Annotation
  • The potential readers. This section implies the
    audience this work is addressed (age category,
    special interests, society levels, profession and
    so on.)
  • Author's opinion what the author considers his
    work to be, what are the most important aspects
    of work, what he tries to emphasize.

6
Structure of the Bibliography Annotation
  • References. The author can make references to the
    other works, comparing or contrasting their
    approaches with his own.
  • Concluding part. Here you write about the results
    of the separate finding and emphasize the main
    idea of the paper.

7
Writing Form and Format Organizational Issues
  • The length of the annotation is 100-150 words
    During writing, use the third person singular and
    plural.
  • Use passive voice and passive constructions.
  • Remember that here your paramount task is not to
    express your emotional attitude to the work but
    to summarize the work and show its contribution
    to your research.
  • Try to use the vocabulary of the author showing
    your acquaintance with the work and to convey the
    ideas of the author.
  • To save the form of writing, put the author's
    words into the quotation marks.
  • Bibliography annotation must follow one or
    another citation formats such as APA, MLA,
    Chicago, ASA, ACA and so on.

8
How to Make the Annotation Work Process
  • Annotated bibliography is usually a concluding
    part of the research work that has its stages of
    writing.
  • One of the first stages of work that coincides
    with a general plan of actions during the paper
    accomplishment is searching and filtering of the
    information.
  • Study all the books, articles, magazines you
    separated out. Analyze what literature is the
    most appropriate for your topic, selecting it
    from the other data sources you found.

General Tips for Beginners
  • Relax. Concentrate on your work and get rid of
    extra thoughts. What you need to do is to be
    fully in the work process.
  • Find consultants. You can find them on the
    internet forums or in real life. Ask your
    instructor for a recommendation of appropriate
    literature for your work. Or speak to the
    librarian about what you are looking for, meet
    with experts of your subject to discuss the
    issues concerning your occupation. Attend
    lectures and seminars, additional courses that
    will give a list of capturing literature to the
    audience.
  • Be grammatically correct. Though the annotation
    is short enough, it does not mean you will make
    fewer mistakes. Pay attention to the
    morphological and syntactical correctness word
    combinations, order, sentence structure and
    punctuation peculiarities everything matters.

General Tips for Beginners
  • Adhere to the correct structure. In the previous
    paragraphs, we have given you a list of issues
    that should be mentioned in your annotation. Do
    not restrict yourself purely with informative
    functions as evaluation is required in the
    majority of cases.
  • Avoid plagiarism. You can find lots of samples of
    the bibliography annotation through the internet
    but do not copy the text. You should read the
    source of writing yourself and come to your
    conclusion. After all, it is an integral part of
    your research.
  • Ask your friends to look through the paper. It's
    nice to have somebody to estimate your work from
    one's point of view and to check it for possible
    mistakes.
