What is an Annotated Works Cited or Annotated Bibliography? An annotated works cited or bibliography is a essentially a listing of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 100 - 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, aka the annotation.
What is an annotation? The purpose of the annotation paragraph is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited -- in short -- you are asked to comment on and/or explain why each source cited is useful.
- WHO -- Who wrote it and why does this person have authority on the topic?
- WHAT -- What did it say? Summarize & comment on the article; compare or contrast this work with another you have cited -- does it agree or disagree?
- WHY -- Explain why you think this article is a good addition to your research. Also, comment on the intended audience -- who was the intended audience and most importantly why was it written.
