I need it only from the site jstoronly need two sources though Each citation must be annotated. This is a brief description of the source. It must be at least 3 sentences long in the format as follows. o 1-2 sentences summarizing the source o 1 sentence illustrating an interesting fact you learned from the source. o 1 sentence describing how you will use the source in your paper. o Annotations should be indented like a normal paragraph in “fist line” format. See example below. please check more details in attachment
Annotated Bibliography Checklist
Please consult this guide before starting your research to ensure that you complete the
annotated bibliography assignment correctly. This checklist also provides some useful
tips on how to find credible resources for your project.
Assignments must be submitted through Canvas Assignments
o Login to Canvas (MyHCC) > click the link for this class > click on the
“Assignments” link found in the upper left > click on the “Annotated
Bibliography” link > follow the instructions from there
Make sure to attach the original word file (hit the “Attach” link
o If you do not use Microsoft Word: save the file as a word document
(file>save as>file type> word document).
o MAC Pages Users: Please export your files as a word document (file >
export > word tab).
You must have at least 5 sources
o You cannot have more than 2 online sources. By this I mean websites.
If the source is available in print, but you found it online it is not considered
an online source. If the source is in print, and you found it online you
should cite the source as if you got it from the original print source and
include the url (web address) from where you found it.
o You must have at least 1 primary source of literature. By this I mean
actual scientific research that has been published. These sources are
typically found in scientific journals. There are literally thousands of
published journals with millions of articles. Otherwise, this could be a
scientific report that is published as a single document.
o Do not cite Wikipedia, about.com, how stuff works, blogs, or any other
general interest site.
o You cannot cite abstracts (summaries of sources) or websites to purchase
a source. You must obtain and read the entire full-text source.
o It is discouraged in college to cite news and encyclopedia sources. Find
credible scientific sources.
Here are some helpful hints for finding credible sources.
o Your best resource is the library. There is a link to the HCC Libraries in the
list of links on the left of the Canvas site. Feel free to search the library
catalog, but your best sources of information are the “Article Databases”.
There you will find many credible sources in full text.
o If you plan to use a normal search engine try using Google Scholar. This
search engine searches for scholarly literature. It isn’t perfect, but is much
better than most.
Some articles found here might ask you to purchase them. First,
you cannot cite a source without obtaining the full-text. You will
probably find the full-text article for free if you check the library
databases.
o Try adding scientific terms to your search rather than just searching for
your topic in general. Once you have educated yourself on the topic, add
in some topic specific science terms to weed out non scientific sources.
o Adding “pdf” to a Google Scholar search will often bring up full text
scholarly articles.
Your citations need to be in MLA format. There are several tools you can use to
help you with this. Son of Citation is a great website that will produce citations for
you. Microsoft Word also has a tool to help as well. Under the “References” tab
use the “Citations & Bibliography” tool.
o The best source for MLA formatting is the Online Writing Lab (OWL).
There is a link to this on Canvas.
o Although MLA no longer requires urls (web address) I do want you to
include the full url to the source at the end of the citation. It should look
like this
o Citations should be in alphabetic order by the author’s last name.
o Citations should be in “hanging” indentation. See the example below.
Each citation must be annotated. This is a brief description of the source. It must
be at least 3 sentences long in the format as follows.
o 1-2 sentences summarizing the source
o 1 sentence illustrating an interesting fact you learned from the source.
o 1 sentence describing how you will use the source in your paper.
o Annotations should be indented like a normal paragraph in “fist line”
format. See example below.
Here is an example of one entry:
Foos, Annabelle. “Geology of the Moab Region (Arches, Dead Horse Point and
Canyonlands).” Geology Department, University of Akron. 21 Mar. 2007.
This is an online text about the geologic processes of the Moab area. It explains
the effects of salt deformation on arch formation. It is interesting that most sandstone in
the area deforms in a plastic manner, while the Entrada and Navajo sandstones go
through brittle deformation. This paper has more than enough information on salt
tectonics, arch formation, the Moab Fault, and provides many stratigraphic columns and
diagrams that will be useful for my paper.
