Most students get worried when they receive the task to write an annotated bibilography paper mostly due to its format, sources, and content. However the task is easier than it seems at first. It is important to format sources in references and in the text following one style and show their relevance to the topic. In fact, annotated bibliography is a review of sources that will be used for further research to support its results or can be an analysis of one source, its main points and applicability to research. It does not require an introduction with a thesis statement and formal conclusion, only concluding sentences

Below, there is an example of annotated bibliography in the APA style for the topic “Testing for Tuberculosis”:

Testing for Tuberculosis

Start writing with a short summary of the article and author’s authority confirmation. Add about the target audience. Then show how you will apply the article to your research or how it relates to it and can be used to support your findings. You can also include comparison with other articles.
