Annotated Bibliography Essentials: Five-Part Blog Series for Research Writers

The annotated bibliography is a common course assignment for Walden University students and is a useful tool with which writers can organize and make sense of their research. However, the annotated bibliography is an often misunderstood writing challenge for Walden students. The combination of writing in a new genre with specific formatting and content requirements, along with the challenge of locating, cataloging, and writing about literature from their field, makes this a complex task for writers. 

To ease the burden on student-writers and to demonstrate how the annotated bibliography is a tool to support the complex task of constructing research-based writing, we've created a five-part blog series. The three main components of the annotated bibliography (summary, analysis, and application) are important for any scholar-practitioner to understand and execute, so we've delved into each of these elements, along with other practical advice.

May we present to you, without further ado, our brand new blog series titled Annotated Bibliography Essentials. This series will provide practical tips that will help writers use this research writing tool to its fullest. Join us as we present the following posts in this series!
