To be able to write a concise summary of a given work you need to read it attentively and critically. A single reading is usually not enough. You need to read the work at least twice and usually more. The first reading is usually a quick scan to determine the relevance of the work to the topic of your annotated bibliography. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe second and third reading is where you strip the work to its bare bones. As you read, you highlight key ideas, add notes to the margin, and note down your comments and reflections. Once done, go back to your highlights and comments and synthesize the whole thing into a concise summary that captures the main arguments of the work together with your own critical evaluation and reflection. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Ch4 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003EWhat is the format of an annotated bibliography?\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003EAn annotated bibliography is composed of two main sections: Bibliographic information and Annotation.

First,  they help you prepare well for your research project. Writing annotations is a task that calls for a deep level of engagement with the literature in your topic allowing you to identify patterns and issues and uncover gaps of knowledge in your area of interest. Annotated bibliographies enable you to know what has already been covered in your topic area so you don't reinvent the wheel and instead focus your efforts to produce rigorous research that adds real value.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003EAlso, annotated bibliographies written by other researchers, especially those published in academic journals can be of tremendous help. These are usually extensive bibliographies covering much of what has been done in a given research area. As a researcher, you can draw on these published annotated bibliographies to help familiarize you with the research done in your area and through it you can discover seminal work and foundational papers to read and cite in your own research. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Ch4 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003EAnnotated bibliography generators\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003EBelow are some good bibliography generators to help create annotated bibliographies.
