Overview
For this assignment, you will find, read, and create annotations for scholarly articles related to your chosen
product and country. Later this term, you will synthesize these sources and combine this archival research with
field research to develop your paper. Therefore, it is important to select a topic that interests you.
An annotated bibliography is a good way to keep track of your research. As you find sources and annotate
them, you capture important information about a source, information that will hopefully prove helpful when you
start to write paper. The sources you choose for the annotated bibliography should be sources you will use (or
that could potentially be used) in your final paper for the course. If you’re going to do all the work that an
annotated bibliography entails, why not make it count! The assignment requires 10 annotated sources, but
you may end up with more than that for the final paper.

How to Create an Annotated
Bibliography
Annotated Bibliography
What is an annotated bibliography?
An annotation is more than just a brief summary of an article, book, Web site or other type of
publication. An annotation should give enough information to make a reader decide whether to read
the complete work. In other words, if the reader were exploring the same topic as you, is this material
useful and if so, why?
An annotated bibliography is an organized list of sources (like a reference list). It differs from a
straightforward bibliography in that each reference is followed by a paragraph length annotation,
usually 100?200 words in length.
The Process
1. First, locate and record citations from at least 10 peer-reviewed (refereed or scholarly) journals
or papers published within the past 2 years, that may contain useful information and ideas on
your topic. Briefly examine and review the actual items. Then choose those works that provide a
variety of perspectives on your topic.
2. Cite the book, article, or document using APA style.
3. Write a concise annotation that summarizes the central theme and scope of the book or
article. This section should be at least one paragraph in length. Include one or more sentences
that
evaluate the authority or background of the author,
comment on the intended audience,
compare or contrast this work with another you have cited, or
explain how this work illuminates your topic (does it agree or disagree with your topic).
APA Guidelines
The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.) states the following
formatting rules:

How to Create an Annotated Bibliography: IB315DLS1A2022 International Business Perspectives
The text and the reference list should be double-spaced.
Numbering starts on the title page, at the top right of the page.
Reference list entries must have a hanging indent (to do this in Microsoft Word, click Format, then
Paragraph, then Special, and choose Hanging).
There should be 1 inch (2.54 cm) margins all around (top, bottom, left, and right) on each page.
Use Times Roman font, or a similar serif font.
Each paragraph should be indented.
Annotated bibliographies should be arranged chronologically.
