Research: Annotated Bibliography

An annotated bibliography is a way to show a collection of academic sources along with a paragraph explanation of the source itself, how your author is credible, why it’s valuable to your topic, and how it shifts or confirms what you already know. 

See the MLA sample from this website to visualize what an annotated bibliography really looks like.
