This semester we are going to do article summaries instead of annotated bibliographies. They are similar but not as involved. There should be 4 parts to your summary. The first part is properly citing the article according to APA format. The second is a summary of the article. The third part involves a critical analysis of the article. What type of research is it? Is it good research? Is the research relevant to my topic? Fourth, include your own reflection of the article.
Why are we doing this? To ensure that the articles you choose for your project have worth while information and fit the parameters for your teach. Your purpose is to communicate how the articles you chose to analyze will help you answer your PICO question.
The summaries are due October 30th, 2022 by 2300.
Bullet points for what to include in your summaries:
Full bibliographic citation: An annotated bibliography must contain the complete article reference in APA format. Use http://www.citationmachine.net/apa/cite-a-journalLinks to an external site. if you want help with APA format.
Audience: For whom was it written (general public, subject specialists, student
Viewpoint: What is the author’s perspective or approach (school of thought, etc.)? Do you detect an unacknowledged bias, or find any undefended assumptions?
Sources: Does the author cite other sources, and if so, what types? Is it based on the author’s own research? Is it personal opinion or expert opinion?
Reliability of the source: How reliable is the work?
Conclusion: What does the author conclude about the work? Is the conclusion justified by the work?
Strengths and Weaknesses: What are the strengths and weaknesses of the work?
Comparison: How does the source relate to other works done by other writers on the topic: does it agree or disagree with another author or a particular school of thought; are there other works which would support or dispute it?
Your Voice / Personal Conclusion: Provide your point of view of the work or your reaction to the source based on other available works, prior knowledge of the subject matter or knowledge pools done by other researchers.
