____________________________________________________________________________________
In order to construct your psychological disorder final paper, you will need to do research. One of the
more useful tools in conducting research is an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography
combines the citations found in the References list at the end of documents in APA format with
annotations about each of the sources.
For this assignment, you will construct an annotated bibliography for your psychological disorder final
paper.
Purpose:
•
•
An annotated bibliography is an organizing tool that is helpful when working on a research
project. An effective annotated bibliography is used to compile research sources in one location
and provide the researcher with quick access to the information contained in each source.
Additionally, students will demonstrate the ability to identify appropriate information sources
and to evaluate critically the credibility of those sources for relevance, legitimacy and bias/point
of view.
Content/Subject:
Your annotated bibliography will consist of the sources that you have deemed relevant to your topic.
1. Cite the source in proper APA format. The citations should be organized in alphabetical order
by author just as in an APA References page. For help with how to cite sources in APA format,
use the following link:

nd_style_guide/reference_list_basic_rules.html
2. Follow with a brief annotation that summarizes the source (approx. 3-5 sentences) and
explains the source’s relevance, legitimacy, and bias/point of view (approx. 3-5 sentences).
You may quote from the source, but do not copy and paste the abstract. Ideally, all of the
annotation should be in your own words. In total, each article should have 2 paragraphs
related to summary and relevance around 100-150 words.
Constraints:
•
The annotated bibliography is a fairly rigid genre. Your citations must adhere to APA format. This
will be one of the central components of the grade for this assignment. Failure to follow APA
format exactly will harm your grade.
•
The annotations for each source should follow an academic style. This means that you must
construct, with elevated and sophisticated language, correct grammatical sentences that
effectively summarize what each source has to say.
Specific guidelines to follow when completing this assignment are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
4 empirical sources of various types (e.g. empirical paper, meta-analysis, systematic review). One
of your sources must be the DSM-5.
Sources focused around your assigned psychological disorder.
Adherence to APA format for all citations.
Sources in alphabetical order according to author.
Thoughtful and complete annotations of 100-150 words.
Correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
