What does the annotated bibliography look like?
Bibliographic entries (citations) are written and arranged like any other bibliography. Entries are usually arranged alphabetically by the first word, which is typically the authors last name. Students are usually most familiar with the bibliographic style used in research for their given majors. For example, English majors may be more familiar with the MLA style while psychology majors may be more familiar with the APA style. Students may construct the annotated bibliography using the style that they prefer as long as they use a consistent style. There are a number of useful guides (both on the Internet and in print form) for the popular styles, such as APA, MLA, Chicago, CBE, etc.
