How Do You Format An APA Citation For An Annotated Bibliography?
An APA-annotated bibliography improves upon the standard bibliography. Rather than just a list of sources, an annotated bibliography gives you the opportunity to evaluate the source. Your annotations are a useful way to contextualize your sources. You can tell the reader—be it an instructor or your peers—how good the source is, what information you got from it, how well you understand it and where the information fits into the broader context of your research. Write your bibliography. Gather all the information for your bibliography including titles, authors, dates and publication information. Put the information into the standard APA style for the type of citation for book, magazine or website. Add the annotations. Annotations should be three to six sentences and address two key components. First, you should write between two and four sentences that summarize the information from the source. Second, write one or two sentences telling the reader how this source relates to your work
