Annotated Bibliography

GUIDELINES FOR ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY AND RESEARCH PAPER*:

Using the APA Style Manual, students are required to submit an annotated bibliography based on an approved topic related to adolescent development or emerging adulthood.

To begin your annotated bibliography, students are required to find at least five articles in the College’s online databases on adolescent development or emerging adulthood.For example, a student might be interested in the topic of the impact of body image on adolescents’ socio-emotional development, or a student might be interested in how brain development and functioning influences risk taking behavior among adolescents. After conducting an advance search on an approved topic by the instructor, students are asked to write an annotation for each of these five research articles by answering the following questions:

  1. What type of research design was used in this study?
  2. Who were the participants?
  3. What were the major findings of this study?
  4. What were the conclusions?
  5. What were some limitations of this study?

An annotation is usually 200 words that summarizes a study by telling the reader the methods used to conduct the study, the participants in the study, the results of the study, and the major findings of the study.To learn how to write an annotation, google Purdue Owl Annotation Bibliography APA Style.

After completing your annotated bibliography, use this information to write a 4-5page research paper (I will submit after the annotation) using APA Style as well.Your research paper should have a Running Head, a title page, internal referencing, and a reference page. Google Purdue Owl to review a sample research paper that is based on APA Style. Please use the 7th edition of the APA Style Manual (the official name of this resource is the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (2019)).
