Annotated
BibliographyStyle
There are two areas concerning choices in your annotated
bibliography’s presentation style. They are writing style and
stance:
Writing style
The annotation may be written in one of three writing styles arranged
from least formal to most formal:
- Phrasal – written in phrases that are quick, concise and
understandable; similar to a resume
- Complete Sentences – written
in complete sentences that are not overly long or wordy
- Paragraph – written
in formal complete sentences that compose a fully logical paragraph
Stance
The annotation part of an annotated bibliography can take any of
the following stances in relation to the source:
- Informative - is a summary of the source that states its
thesis and main points.
- Evaluative – determines the
usefulness of the source by evaluating its strengths and
weaknesses and by determining whether
or not the
source was helpful to you.
- Indicative – gives the scope
of material that the source covers
- Combination – is
a combination of the three stances listed above.
