The annotated bibliography process involves compiling credible sources related to a research topic, citing them properly in MLA format, summarizing their main ideas, and evaluating their relevance and credibility. For this task, each source must be presented with a proper citation, a concise paraphrase, and an evaluative comment. Proper formatting techniques—such as alphabetized order, hanging indents, double spacing, and Times New Roman 12-point font—must be observed to ensure clarity and professionalism. The annotated bibliography serves as a foundational tool to organize research sources and assess their value in supporting a specific research question or thesis.

First, each citation must be formatted according to MLA guidelines, reflecting the type of source (book, article, web resource). This includes author names, titles, publication details, and URLs if applicable. Sources should be listed alphabetically by the last name of the author. For each entry, a 3-5 sentence paragraph should summarize the main ideas, including the author's point and supporting details. This helps in understanding how each source contributes to the research.

Additionally, a brief evaluation of each source is required, addressing the credibility of the author, the accuracy of the information, and the source’s relevance to the research topic. Credentials and qualifications of the author, as well as comparisons with other sources, should be considered. This evaluative component is essential in establishing the quality and reliability of the references used. Overall, the annotated bibliography functions as a critical component in the research process, guiding further investigation and ensuring the selection of credible, pertinent sources.
