  1. The Annotated Bibliography

  2. The Annotated Bibliography • “A bibliography in which each citation is followed by an annotation containing a brief descriptive and/or evaluative summary, synopsis, or abstract.” • www.farmingdale.edu/library/gloss.html • Good tool for quick summarization, assessment • “Keeps you honest” • Great way to share this stage of your progress • See Erik Stemmerman’s site! • GEO 565

  3. Annotated Bibliography vs. Lit Review • Annotated bibliography is basically a set of notes on each reference • Lit review flows in scientific/technical style • Lit review compares/contrasts/links various references and is far more analytical

  4. Writing the Literature Review • Break the review into thematic sections • Prioritize the sections • Maintain focus • relate literature to your research hypotheses

  5. Literature Review Style • Document every statement of fact • Use scientific/technical style: • use 3rd person • follow citation style of foremost journals and other theses/dissertations • no jargon • smooth transition between sections • “Smith (1999) asserted that…” • “Yosida (1961) found that…” • “In early work, Conti (1953) suggested that…” • “blah blah blah (e.g. Rangel, 1998; Mason, 2003)”
