Select a research method that you will use for your research paper and develop an annotated bibliography of at least five scholarly sources (excluding the course textbook) for your research paper topic. Utilize the topic you selected in your previous assignment, which should be personal to your location, jurisdiction, or state. The purpose of this assignment is to help you prepare for the final research proposal due in Unit VII. You may use the CSU Online Library to locate sources.
The annotated bibliography submission should include summaries for each source with the following information.
Write a brief explanation/summary of the source. Identify what the article is about, or explain what the author tested. Do not copy and paste the abstract or the summary from the article to your paper. Paraphrase and summarize the information in your own words. The summary may not be one long quotation.
Write a brief explanation of how this source will contribute to your final paper.
The following are not acceptable for academic research and referencing:
encyclopedias;
dictionaries;
Wikipedia, other wikis, or blogs;
Ehow.com, Ask.com, Dotdash.com, or any similar site; and
websites and other sources that do not provide quality researched materials or that do not use credible sources to support the information in the document.
Each summary must be at least 100 words in length, so your submission must be at least two pages in length. Your document must use proper APA Style elements including a cover page. Watch this annotated bibliography tutorial for further help.
Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment, including in-text citations and references for all sources that are used. Please note that no abstract is needed.
