Psychology 331.07
Annotated Bibliography

Illinois State University
J. Cooper Cutting
Spring 2008

Your assignment is to review the literature for publications that are relevant to the experiment that your group is designing. Each annotated bibliography must have at least 3 articles per group member (e.g., if your group has 3 students, then your bibliography must have at least 9 publications included). This is a minimum, more publications may be included.

An annotated bibliography is a list of all of the sources you have used in the process of researching your work. For this assignment you are required to include all of the following information:

    * the authors' names

    * the titles of the works

    * the names and locations of the companies that published your copies of the sources

    * the dates your copies were published

    * the page numbers of your sources (if they are part of multi-source volumes)

    * a brief description of the content, quality, and usefulness of the source.

The reference information should be formatted according to APA style. The quality of the "brief description" will constitute the majority of the grading. Copying library abstracts or blurbs from the backs of books is not permissible. The annotation has to be in you own voice and words, and should specifically discuss the relevance of the source to their research.
