Annotated Bibliography

An annotated bibliography is a reference list in which each entry is followed by an annotation or description of the source. Dissertation writers must provide extensive sources from the literature in their initial research proposal. Begin preparing now by learning the critical skills needed for future success. Scanning, summarizing, and recording the key points in an article, as required for an annotated bibliography, is a critical skill for all doctoral learners to ensure success.

Create an annotated bibliography using research on a topic you might like to investigate for your doctoral dissertation. Some examples of potential research topics include: "Female Leadership in the Aerospace Industry" or "Multiple Intelligences in Elementary Students."
