The assignment follows the citation formatting laid out in the Faculty Writing Manual and Style Guide, 12th edition (2014). For students in other faculties, an alternative style is acceptable, as long as the style is recognizable (e.g., Chicago, APA, MLA) and you are consistent in formatting. If you have not previously followed a style guide, pick one of the above or consult The Canadian Style: A Guide to Writing and Editing (Dundurn Press). WHAT IS AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY? An annotated bibliography is a list of citations for books, articles, and documents accompanied by an annotation. The bibliography is introduced by providing a title and abstract of your term paper topic. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited (Engle et al. 2005). Further, the annotation addresses how you intend to use the citation in your treatment of your term paper topic. An annotation is not a summary, but a critical description related to your topic. SUBMISSION DETAILS The assignment is to be single spaced with a cover page. Citations should not be numbered, but be listed alphabetically by author’s last name, followed by the annotation. Each citation should follow the previous one; there is no need for a separate page for each citation. The assignment title should read “Annotated Bibliography on _____” and then your term paper title. Pages should be numbered. NOT REQUIRED: table of contents. ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION 1. You will choose a topic for your term paper, with a proposed title and a one or two paragraph abstract. Put your topic and abstract at the beginning of the annotated bibliography. 2. Select at least 10 references, with at least five of them from peer-reviewed, academic journals or books (Rouch 2012) that are relevant to your chosen essay topic. Your sources can be print and/or online, but it is important that at least five sources are refereed. Academic journal articles are usually peer reviewed. The online “Get It” service at the LU Library, “will tell you via a green image beside the journal title if that journal is peerreviewed.” Some books will be peer reviewed and some not. The Library states that to determine if a book is peer reviewed, “look for books that include footnotes or bibliographies citing the sources for their information. Books without sources cited might be considered to be equivalent to general magazine articles.” Newspaper and massdistributed magazines, government documents, personal websites or weblogs are examples of non peer-reviewed sources. Your five non peer-reviewed sources may include such sources as the websites of government departments or interest groups. 3. After close reading, write annotations for each source (each annotation not to exceed a half-page, 2-3 paragraphs), summarizing and analyzing the source for relevance, accuracy and quality and focussing on why the source is valuable for informing your term Dr. M.A. (Peggy) Smith 7/6/17 �Annotated Bibliography Assignment 2 paper topic. There are many examples online about how to do an annotated bibliography. Engle et al. (2005) is one example. 4. Each entry in your annotated bibliography will include a full citation of each source with author, date, title and publication information (following the Literature Cited format from the Faculty Writing Manual or another accepted style manual), followed by the annotation. 5. Please post your assignment electronically in the Assignments folder on the D2L course website. Example of what to include in an annotated bibliography (do not italicize): Start with an abstract formatted according to the Faculty Writing Manual or style your discipline follows. See example on page 10 of Manual. This includes a citation for your paper, keywords and then an abstract, all single spaced. An example follows: Citation for your paper: Smith, P. 2015. The value of Social Impact Assessment in ensuring equity in environmental assessment for Indigenous peoples. Keywords: environmental assessment, equity, Indigenous peoples, social impacts YOUR TOPIC ABSTRACT (format according to Writing Manual, single spaced): This paper will explore whether Social Impact Assessment is an effective means of ensuring equity in environmental assessment for Indigenous peoples. Environmental assessment, if judged through the lens of sustainable development theory, should address social and economic issues, as well as environmental issues. However, in the past environmental assessment has been weak in addressing socio-economic impacts. EA has also tended to neglect the impacts of development on minorities. Social Impact Assessment is a tool to redress these omissions. Your paper citation, keywords and abstract will then be followed by your ten citations and annotations. Below is an example of a citation and annotation. Remember that at least five (5) of your citations should be from academic, peer-reviewed sources. George, C. 1999. Testing for sustainable development through environmental assessment. Environmental Impact Assessment Review 19:175-200 (online). This article explores whether environmental assessment upholds the principles of sustainable development agreed to at the United Nations Conference on the Environment and Development held in Rio de Janiero in 1992. The author develops two main indicators for EA that he contends properly address the Rio principles: intergenerational and intragenerational equity. He further develops criteria expanding on these principles. One of them, under intragenerational equity, is “If Indigenous people or other minority groups are affected, have suitable provisions been made for their participation in project decisions?” The paper provides useful background for my exploration of social impact assessment as a tool to address the equity issues involved in assessing environmental impacts on Indigenous people. The concepts of intergenerational and intragenerational equity are often addressed by Dr. M.A. (Peggy) Smith 7/6/17 �Annotated Bibliography Assignment 3 Indigenous people through concerns about their youth, which is growing in population, and for the next generations, a concept captured in the phrase “for the next seven generations”.
