Annotated Bibliographies
Annotated bibliographies allow for the selection and evaluation of key literature on a topic. They can be used prior to starting a full literature review to provide students with a flavour of the critical thinking which is involved in selecting and using quality literature for a study. Check out our Annotated bibliography template (word).
These two links are good summaries of what they involve, but do check your assignment brief to ensure you follow your tutor's instructions carefully.
